Will it ever start

It's now getting towards the end of March and still we can't get the donor bike to run. Our intention was to get the bike running then sell it to finance the "build" of the cafe racer.

We have replaced the diaphragms in the carburettors, installed a starter motor (for another donor bike), put in a new ignitor and ignition switch and still nothing.

Next step is to get some decent spark plugs and see if they make a difference. In the meantime I'm off to the coast ...
