Hmm.. if the starter motors stuck on your solenoids buggard.

It's the little metal canister that sits by the battery.

Try tapping it with the handle end of a screwdriver and see if it frees off.

As for not starting.. make sure you have a FULL battery.. full choke no throttle until its running.

Lets go from there and see how we get one.

My NC didn't start after being laid up for 2 months even though it was cranking.. conected it to my cars battery and away it went.

ok cheers will give it a go, just weird it stoped workin less than 24hrs after it was last started

Also check its getting fuel as the vacuum pipe may have split or kinked.

which pipe is the vaccum pipe? cause i have had a wee bit of a petrol leak

Its the small diameter tube that goes from the side of the left rear cylinder on the engine to the fuel tap. It sucks the diaphragm open to let fuel flow through the tap. There should not be fuel leaking through it.
Also check the cut out switch is not off on the handlebars.Easy mistake but it happens to everyone at some time.
Is there any smell of fuel at the exhaust?
Is there a spark?

ahh right cool i will check that 2morro

Sort the leak out as a matter of urgency mate as it will melt the plastic side panels and destroy the paintwork or even catch fire
If its leaking from where the tap is mounted take it off and clean it, then use blue hylomar sealant on it. It will not leak then.

yer that leak has been stoped now. i didnt even know it was leakin an my mate said he could smell it a mile away lol gotta love colds
