    found the problem guys, well i was totally baffled new plug new lug cap clean carb loads of petrol clean fuel lines, starter was spinnin fine and everything just wouldnt start So me and my dad where having a think and thought that maybe the battery is just knackerd and the voltage drop is too high when you press 'start' so i got a mulitmeter on batter it read 11.76 which is too low anyway and when i hit start it dropped to 7v lol so i used ma dads battery and it started fine, new battery £12 not too bad
