Any ideas please,story so far removed carbs replaced and refixed tank etc.On position for petrol,on position on kill switch.Turn engine over no prob.Removed front and rear spark plugs held to earth turned over engine no spark.Cannot understand as i never touched the electrics.

What state was the bike in before this problem? did it run? has it been standing for years etc etc etc

does the subfame and engine mounts have continuity to earth at the battery?

are the little female spade crimps on the coils properly?

Bike ran ok and also the relay clicks ok when turning engine over.

Hi Fixer, couple of questions;
1 is teh main 30A fuse okay
2 Does the battery have a charge, if so what is the charge

Cheers

Hi skinnydog the main fuse is ok and the battery is showing 12.67 v.

Kill switch?

Hi,
That battery voltage sounds a little low, it should be 13.5v ish
can you measure the voltage on the battery when you try to start it?
have you checked the resistance in the coils?
I hate electrical faults
Is the bike a 30 or 35?

Doh, yer start at the beginning

Hi skinnydog bike is a 92 nc30,will take kill switch apart tonight.

Update found fault to wire from starter button replaced and sparking ok.Now petrol dripping from carbs.Removed the vacumn pipe con from engine end as it was loose.There is a small piece of brass inside the elbow part,is this the norm.Also i need to replace this part and hose.The bike will not run,have run some hose from tap to engine end.Anyone give me contact for Rick Oliver please so i can order parts.
