Take it has the fuel pump running?

 

Check there is a spark.

 

Cylinders not flooded with too much fuel. Take plugs out an let it breath.

 

Battery power OK and cranking voltage across the battery terminals is above 10 volts otherwise the ignition starts to shut down.

 

Will it start and run if the throttle is held halfway during starting?

After the engine plug pin 40, goes directly to the back of the relay plate on plug G1 (White connector) pin 4. From there it internally picks up the internal ignition 12 volt busbar. That is supplied from the ignition key switch directly, so to check that this works quickly, put into reverse gear and the reversing lights should come on. This proves the ignition switch is working and putting 12 volts onto the ignition busbar in the relay plate.
