Still not had it running yet.

Ive tried everything suggested other than the BBQ lighter.

I think it may well be the spark, it seems ok testing it on the exhaust but as soon as i kick it over its wet through.

Tried bump starting it and it almost feels like its going to fire but never does.

The bike had just had a piston rebuild before i bought it, im not sure if its chinese but theres probably a good chance as ive seen kits on ebay for £45. If a new plug doesnt work do you think i should pressure test for compression?

Any idea what it should be?
