Would that be enough to ignite the gas?
    Replace the spark plug

    I wanted to run it on 6v because otherwise I have to run around with the battery hanging half out because the bracket only fits a little 6v battery. I probably won't have time to make another one if I put a 12v in by next weekend. If I can find a coil to suit then maybe.

    Kick the bike over and look at the colour of the spark,

    phat deep blue = OK, skinny blue/yellow = weak, yellow = piss weak and won't run anything.

    A phat blue spark that you can hear crack across the plug gap is what your looking for.

    The condensor and or dirty points can also be a problem.

    Getting a new battery now so I hope that fixxes this.
    The spark would be skinny blue to yellow/orang. The condensor could be a prob I guess but like I said nothing has been touched since it ran. I have had the condenser and coil off but there's only really one way you can wire it up, so its ME proof.

    Ivan... No probably not. Well that's to be continiued later today. I can tell it was the charger though because we got the batt tested and it's fine, and I put it on another charger set up and after 30 mins it was noticeably warmer (the battery) than it was this morning after 12 hours on the other charger...

    at least you turned the dam thing on

    I test rode a bike the other day and was complaining that it wouldn't start

    aparently they have an on off switch as well as a key and you have to turn both on not just the switch

    give me my bucket anyday
