Pink is the ignition supply. This should go to terminal 15 or + on the coil. The electronic ignition + should also connect to this terminal.

Green is the wire from your points, which should now be redundant. It would have connected to terminal 1 or - on the coil. it should be removed entirely or taped up out of the way.

Brown/white is the feed to your tachometer. This should go to terminal 1 or - on the coil.

Your electronic ignition box should have at least three wires. Can you tell us what make/model you have? Most would have red as the supply and black as an earth, with a third wire that connects to terminal 1 or - on the coil to operate it.

Have you set the ignition timing correctly?

If you are getting sparks in then that's good - there isn't much that can be wrong!

First thing is, did you put the rotor arm back in, on top of the Ultraspark trigger wheel?

Second thing is, does the rotor arm point to a contact in the cap at the same time as a metal strip in the trigger wheel passes the sensor?

Is the car running now? What you describe sounds like you are looking at the accelerator pump jet, which does squirt a small jet of fuel into the primary barrel when you press the pedal.

When the engine is running fuel should appear as a mist coming out of the little venturi suspended above the main barrel. If it is coming out in drops you may have no main jet in place on the bottom of the emulsion tube, but that should be obvious to spot.
