From my neck of the woods, if an engine "starts", that means it is running. If it "turns over", that means the starter is turning the engine but it won't run continuously. Your wording is confusing.
I think you'll find this language to be mostly universal in the USA. Now, if you can't explain it, I doubt that anybody can help you.
Good Luck!

Did you check for spark at one of the plugs?
You replaced the ignition module, was that because of a no spark condition?
Fuel pressure OK?
Do you smell gas after turning it over a few times?
Starts but doesn't turn over? That's like saying I can Run but I can't walk....
Hank is correct... if your car STARTS, usually one would be turning it over first, and in the process of starting.

One thing at a time. Lets rule out different systems. Fuel system, by shooting a little starter fluid down into the carb, then crank it over for about 10 sec. If it don't "fire" and run for a second, then fuel system MAY be ok. If it starts and runs for a second, then the fuel system IS the problem. Either clogged filter, dirty carb, bad fuel pump, bad fuel, rusty tank and etc. If we find out that it is the fuel system, we'll narrow it down later..
Get back after trying this.
