Morning All,
can cam timing result in the engine not starting?
I still suspect I have a fuelling problem or just a very stubborn bike as it hasn't run for about 5 months, Turns over on the starter OK with no clunks or rattles and occasionally s and ticks over for all of about a second or so but then dies.
All ideas/ guesses gratefully received!

Ok lads, thanks for the advice. I know the plugs are sparking, but will be checking the fuelling first and then working inwards from there. Just prey to god it's not the timing,
Going to have a stab at it between Xmas and new year so will keep you posted as to any developments/ explosions nearer the time.
Cheers..

Faulty Starter Motor Relay??
Good news! the bike runs!, replaced the fuel pump relay (many thanks si!) and after many many attempts it's up and running. HOWEVER, despite a new fully charged battery the starter motor will only just turn over, if you bypass the starter motor relay (or whack it with a hammer!! - no really it works..) then it turns over at the right speed. My guess is a faulty relay on the starter motor but has anybody else experienced this type of problem??
Oh and if anybody has a spare starter motor relay for an H model then i'd be very keen on taking it off your hands.
