its broken again....

Was all running fine apart from a slight D/P blow and a few final touches before its test run out... so i have got to finally fit the air filter in position, the battery tray etc,

Sunday morning i move it on the drive for the work to be done. once jacked up and the battery tray etc firmly fitted i tight the exhaust up as well as remove the headlight as its pointing to the sky, once finished i connect the battery and all it does is NOTHING... :evil: Seems like there may be an earth fault somewhere. When you try to start it you either get a click from the starter or a power drain from the battery as all the dash lights dim... oh well best strip it down and check everything again...
