Regular viewers of this space might have seen my ZZR undergoing a wee bit of work:


http://www.themotorbikeforum.co.uk/view ... =5&t=28025


This was meant to be the weekend when "it" all came together, bodywork, exhausts, accessory circuit etc. I must admit to suffering from a bit of hubris :oops: though as the bloody thing wont start now. It was running fine a few weeks back as i'd bought and refurbished a set of new (from a scrappy) carbs, new battery and new plugs. All the cables have been lubed (GT-85) and the ends greased. I put the battery back in today with some fuel and nowt. Starter is turning over but nada - its almost like there's no spark but its got 4 new ones in it.


I'm wondering if its something electrical that i've fecked up rewiing my heated grips and accessory circuit.


Rant over - fed up!

Have u tried taking the sparks out and leaving them on the engine casing to check if they're sparking?

Maybe fuel starvation with it being stood for a while,i had the same problem when i had mine off the raod for 4 months

I'll double check the spark plugs but they're new and were working fine.


The tank was off and drained for the last few weeks, the tap has a prime button so i primed it after i popped some fuel in the tank......


I'll get another look on monday :(
