Right, so the part FINALLY arrived today and I got everything re-assembled and now the clutch feels better from the handle BUT the engine won't start...
Turns over fine, but I reckon the battery is going to give up soon as its had to start the bike several times when it has been reluctant (especially after the engine was put back in to the frame). Is it possible to jump a motorcycle like you would with a car, using jump leads? My electrical knowledge is limited but to me a car battery seems like a stronger, higher capacity 12V source so... obviously I'd rather not blow up the battery though as that would probably reduce me to a blubbering wreck at that stage...
I do have a charger, BUT that's more time to waste if its actually something else. Checked the fuel tap just to be sure and its getting a spark. It coughs a little on the first attempt after leaving it for 5 mins but then just refuses.
