Will now not start :(

Kill switch being to STOP. Sometimes it is the simplest of things that are the hardest to find as we tend to look for the difficult answer. Try cycling it a few times.
Also check ALL the electrical connections and earths, especially on the ignition circuit. A bike to suddenly lose its spark points to broken/poor electrical connection.
Happy hunting and keep us informed of progress.

Well went out there tonight.

Traced the Kill Switch wiring back, gave it a squirt of contact cleaner at the plug. WD40 the switch and operated it a few times and then BANG she started sparking again.

Bolted it all back together again and it started first press, I forgot choke so it died pretty quickly. Then it did not have enough juice to crank over DOHHH

So looks like (Touch wood!) that was the issue

[CMSMJ1]

Woohoo. Good arrows man! get it charged and get it running...sunshine this weekend..

[twistywizard]

Well....LOL

Battery charged, she now fires but then spluttered and died. Cranks fine and occasionly fires however most the time after a little while I got sort of a pop and a fart from the exhaust engine. Like it is igniting some of the time.

Now considering the fecker was cranked good knows how long and the plugs were pretty wet when I removed the rear two (Have not removed the front two yet!) am I right in assuming I could have fouled the plugs and they are knackered? Or am I stabbing in the dark?

Cheers guys

Went out there this morning to sort out my other bike and thought I would give it a go. The little fooker fired straight into life! GRRRR tried it a few times and it was all good. However a bit further up the rev range seemed to be missing sometimes.

Left it for a while, wheeled it out and when starting accidentaly gave it a tiny bit of throttle DOHH. So back to square. I have a feeling the plugs are probably pretty knackered. Fresh set in, get it running and take it for a good long ride I reckon. Would people be in agreement or should I be looking elsehwhere

[CMSMJ1]

Yep, I reckon plugs too.

[twistywizard]

I shall contact Graeme for another set. The originals (which looked pretty new) have been binned by the other half.

The bike was lucky not to get battered this weekend. On the plus side I found my bag of bolts :)

[twistywizard]

Well new plugs fitted. Struggled to start then did and Idled for a while then died and after that would not start again. Occasionly would get a massive pop/bang from the exhaust.

So still no joy

Anymore suggestions could it be float bowl height? Or something stuck in the needle/bowl. Pulling my hair out here
