Got even better when Bernard the van passed PSV on sunday, took less time to do the van than the bike

Fresh battery & a splash of Fuel in Nue Red...

Still wont bloody start...Grrrr.

All Vac lines in place & sealed off.

Getting fuel to carbs as did drain screws...

Checked choke is moving ok you can hear it moving both sides...

Gave up before I lost the plot & set fire to it...

Have you got a decent spark Mac? If you have it may be blocked jets.

Like Duffy I was also thinking about the spark bit, but I couldn't remember if we covered that or not the last time you were trying to fix this issue?

I will check spark on next visit... Doubt its blocked jets as a refreshed set of carbs was put on it last time...

I might pull the petcock off for an inspection just in case but that's a right faff as it's different to the normal 16lrt one...

Hunted around trying to find a electrical issue. Bloody Ducs.

Dead bike this morning so no ride out. The engine warning light was on, oil pressure light and the dash showed 'CAN error'. Apparently that's the CAN line. The battery voltage screen was also showing 'low', which means less than 10V. I charged the battery and it was showing well over 12V on a multimeter,but still nothing. So I swapped it for another battery I know is good. Still nothing.

The only thing I can think of is water in a connector somewhere, or a loose connector, from when I washed it after the last ride. I only used soap and water but I did clean the discs with brake cleaner. That can't have made a difference though, surely.

Does anyone have any bright ideas?

Get a diagnostic readout. As soon as a can line is involved, fault finding is a nightmare without diagnostic tools.
