Interesting mirrors...

robotman:
OK so it been a while....... but........ I have it back together and tonight I filled her up and tried to get it started....................
It didnt start  :( it backfired a bit and made a few coughs but it wouldnt go. I managed to flat the battery. then kickstarted till I was knackered !
What to do next. Re charge the battery, check the plugs. To be fair it hasnt run for at least 2 years. It was last on the road in 1999. Is there any chance I have the plug leads round the wrong way? as I took off the coils at Christmas.
I will keep you posted but any input would be helpful
Regards
Steve

K2-K6:
If they are standard coils / leads I don't think they'll reach the wrong plugs. but worth checking.

Some nice bikes there though.

Bryanj:
If its still on points ignition spray them with wd40 and make sure they open and close

robotman:
Tried it again tonight - its backfiring badly with sparks out of the exhaust !!!!
Think I might have to take it to the bike shop for a bit of help.........
