your car is injected not carb as you say, but it does resemble a carb. Right reasons for not starting
1 take out the plugs and check the gaps also see if there wet with fuel--if they are replace them.
2
Check the valve clerances, you say its a 1.1 so clerances should be 20thou in / 30thou ex.
3
Check fuse box for blown fuse's i.e. ECU fuse etc
4
Check the fuel cut off switch (n/s footwell) make sure its down.
if it still wont start give it a viking funeral lol seriously if no joy post back
