Thank you all so far for your help
Got myself a multimeter today and took out the batteryand the meter said it was 11.8v
Got a charger (see my other thread )
Battery now on charge Since 2.pm going by the leds on the charger the desulphation stage was skiped and it went straight to a soft start (slower rate i think) for one hour and now in main charge mode
Question why was 11.8v not enough to fire up the engine.It turned it over ok
I have also got new spark plugs and checked the gap. Wow that is small I think my old ones when I had a quick look (sill in the bikefor the now) were well worn.
I also have a new air filter but will first try with the new sparks and full battery as if that is no good then I shall next be looking at the in line filter and when under there will change the air filter too.
Question Why would a blocked air filter stop it from starting when that is exactly what you are doing with the choke
