Hi lads my 316 carb 1988 model wont start as I went out for a spin this evening and after a 100 yards it stoped dead,at first i though it might be that there was no petrol,but i put some into tank still no joy?any suggestion greatly appreciated christo.

Same basic fault finding rules apply for this engine as any other E30 engine, fuel injected or not.
Take out a spark plug (or use a spare one), lay it on the rocker cover, and check that it sparks when you crank the engine.
Pull the fuel feed pipe off of the carb., and check fuel flows from it when you crank the engine.
