checked the hotstart and that seems fine, tried jumping it and with ckoke out it runs for abt 20 seconds then just dies, dosnt even idle,its not really a backfire when kicking it over but more a half splutter?

Pull cam cover off and check top rocker bearing hasn't collapsed before you try starting again

I'd be making a bee-line for the inlet valve clearances.

blocked jet in the carb, my 450 did that in the first 10 hours, 1 grain of sand in the idle jet is all it takes.
