clutch diode knackered. its the small one rear lhs nr the reg rec

Yeah, there isn't even one on the bike! LOL. Maybe that is why it won't start.

Well it started!!! The bike wasn't all the way in neutral. Once the drum ratcheted into place and the neutral light came on she turned over. How exciting! So I hooked up the portable fuel tank and she cranked up. Idled pretty good for a minute but wouldn't take any throttle. Then she died and wouldn't start again. DAMN!

Plus there is something wrong with the rear hub. It has brand new bearings but the pinch bolt wouldn't budge. It was like it was frozen in the threads. So out comes the WD40 and a good soaking. An hour later and a large breaker bar and I was able to pinch the bolt down. Only problem now is the rear wheel is extremely hard to turn. The hub nut is torqued properly but it just feels really stiff. Pushing the bike around is almost impossible. Feels like the rear brake is locked but it isn't. I might need a new swingarm and hub! Fun stuff.
