    have you checked it for spark at the plugs for starters?

    Assuming you havent and it is have you got all the leads on in the correct order?

    is this a new thing or only since you replaced the dizzy cap...

    Assuming that you fault found to the electrical system (you checked out that the fuel was getting to the injector manifold first right?)

    pull one plug and one plug lead, place them directly on the coil and earth the plug try it again...

    If that fires ok then the problem is between the coil and the plugs.

    You have broken a retaining clip on the dizzy shaft by pulling on the rotor too vigorously.
    If the rotor is stuck you should break it with a pair of pliers.
