That's a good point Johnny.  Mothers Day has taken me away form the restart!😪

DomP:
After a blondmoment with the kill switch...you can guess what I did there, it runs!   I managed to sort the clutch arm without taking the clutch cover off which was a relief, the oil light goes out almost instantly on start up so all the precautionary steps everyone suggested have worked so thanks for that! 

I will need to spend a bit of time fiddling with the carbs as it's running rich and sounding a little rough on idle, I'll try and put a video up.

Thanks for all your help Bryan, well and Ken and many on here who've chipped in along the way, it was a great relief when it fired up.  As its not road worthy yet what should I do regarding running it in because I've yet to sort the seat and front brakes out?
