    Still haven't got the fucker going. After discovering I'd been trying to
    start it with the coils wired arse about face, I'd flooded it and drained
    the battery by this time. So I take the battery out, charge it and back down
    garage yesterday. Fit battery, choke, ignition, start button. Spins over and
    over - nothing except smell of petrol. After a few tries I check for spark -
    nothing. Check around the battery to see if I've disturbed anything - no.
    Get my meter out and check around, power to electronic ignition ok, all
    wiring checks out, aahh, primary of one coils gone open circuit, looks like
    the electronic ignition box has failed and fried a coil into the bargain!
    Bastard.
    For some reason this bike just don't wanna go. I'll get the fucker going if
    it's the last thing I do!
