Ok, so are you saying that the bike has a CDI ignition then? (I honestly have no clue as to what it may look like). So, if it does have one, that simplifies everything. Ill just have to keep looking for whatever it is thats not letting it start. Ill read the guide again and see if theres anything I missed....the only things I can think of are that I dont have enough compression (there seems to be a lot) and that the exhaust pipe is too constricted-thats my bet. Ill keep you all updated though, in case anything else comes up.
Thanks again,
Conal.
