Then I descided to completly change the order by reversing it - Bingo! the thing starts butr it's sluggish BIG TIME! Changed it back again nothing, reversed it Bingo! WTF! Any clue as to why or am I just reading this manual wrong???

No need to reply I figured out the problem, I had the order going counter clock-wise on the distributor rather than clockwise.

Problem has been resolved
