    Wont Start..

    For the last month and a half i have had my r5 sat on my drive. Today i tried starting it and she wasent going to.

    Ive check for spark and thats fine.
    It was on empty when i left it so i put some fuel in and the fuel pump was going really loud for a while until it got the fuel through.
    Ive checked for fuel and thats getting to the carb ok. (may possibly be blocked inside the carb thoe??)


    What other things can i check for?

    Help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    cheers, i went back to the car to try these things and now theres nothing.

    I put the immobiliser on and the turn the key and nothing not even a sound from starter motor.

    Could this be new starter motor? I was turning it over quite a bit previousley?

    maybe you should charge up the battery first,an then check the starter motor connections,remove dizzy cap an inspect,just check leads an plugs...

    try bump starting the car,if its the starter then that may give you a clue.
