Well she started & made a few revolutions, sounds beautiful, all that worry for nothing.
Turned out the two batteries we have are the problem, one is buggered & the other went flat fairly quickly but not before she fired. It was the simplest of items & the last thing we tried DOH. The so called good battery came with another bike & don't know it, how quickly will a battery flatten if its cranking away & pumping the fuel pump ? I dont want to buy a new battery if this one is ok.
We did find a bad earth wire on our adventure which would have failed later, the rats had a been living in her for a while gnawing away at the rear brake res cap, rear mudguard & here & there but not too bad.
Thanks again for all your help it really helped.
Regards
