There wasn’t an issue with the bendix until 2 days ago. It just seems to be getting worse and worse:) I think this won’t start the bike as it had been fine all this time and still didn’t start. Probably has just happened as I often try to see if she’ll start and the battery has drained (bringing me back full circle to an electrical issue).

 

Battery is reading 12V. A bit low in comparison to my first reading 12.4V. I don’t have a charger but I’ll get my hands on one and start from there. 
 

The loom in the bike is a quite worn. Previous owner didn’t take much care of it. It’s very poorly done up (it was trashed so many times, I have 3 different keys for the ignition, seat and tank from 3 different donor bikes).  Electrical tape to cover up open wires is prevalent. 
 

I’ll see if it starts to turn over again once I charge the battery up.
