BDR Car won't start - aaargh! Again, finally I got the mixture right and now no COLD starty - Solved

[anthony1956]

 

ok so yesterday I finally got the emissions to legal requirements and it seemed to be stable, not moving much. She started fine, hot engine.
Now, cold engine, she won't start. She tries, but can't. 
I guess it's the mixture; I've tried the choke, but no success.
She's probably well flooded now so I have come away so she can dry out.

Suggestions welcome - checked the plug leads are right and the dizzy is properly on. 
Yesterday I had the plugs out for the Colortune, cleaned plugs and refitted.
I've refitted the Manometer vacuum take offs, the blanks - one was not sealed, might be that...

Every time I think she's finished, she's not. I suppose too lean to cold start

I suppose I could try a simple half turn out on all the mixture screws - did that, also went back to first principles which is 2.5 turns out, think I might just take the plugs out, clean, gap, refit just in case I screwed up something there.. and yes I checked the HT leads are in the right order on the dizzy, not that they have been off since yesterday, and no the dizzy cap is not wobbly or off kilter, and yes the rotor arm inside tab is not sheered off..
