Will try a few of your suggestions out tomorrow and keep ya'll updated. Mate down the road might have a meter so will hit him up in the morning and see what I come up with. Will also look at buying one as it'll come in handy anyway - another tool for the box. Cheers.
Nothing turning the motor over at all ... in saying that, we tried it on one occasion last night with the fully charged battery and it did start to make a really weak whir sound but that was about it. About as close as we've got it to actually firing up. Tested battery and all good.
Can you be a bit more clear on what happened when you tried to push started it?
To me says it turns over while pushing, but then you also sayTried push starting - no joy (compression good though).
It makes it really hard for us to help diagnose the problem when you don't give us clear information.Nothing turning the motor over at all

Ok - just to try and clear things up a little when I push started it I could hear the motor turn over but not in such a way that it hinted at actually wanting to start. Have also pushed now with plug out to make sure crank is turning over and all good - not seized. Emailed the guy I bought it off and he told me that the bike gradually got harder and harder to start over time to the point where it would no longer start at all. To my mind that sounds like an electrical fault but here's the problem - when I use and external current to the starter motor nothing happens apart from a few sparks and that's about it. Gonna watch some tv and leave it for tomorrow me thinks.
You need external earth from external source to engine and then power to the starter
And a cigarette lighter.
Whenever I'm back down in my garage I can dig out some parts if you're needing any and send them down to you
