First of all, i would like to thank wookie 58 for doing the repairs to my relay. Very much appreciated.
put it all back together today, but unfortunatly it still wont start. I'm not sure what the problem is now. At first it looked promising. I heard everything click into place, but no, still struggling. I think its getting to much fuel as it started dripping out of the drain hole in the exhaust pipe. I think the injectors are sticking open, that's my theory. It must be an ECU problem. Probably why it's been parked up all these years
So plan b it is. What is a good set of carbs for this bike, and where can I get some.

Have you checked the resistance of the temp sensor ?

Yes, i have basically checked every thing you can test and all was within speck except the relay, which you repaired. When I put it back on I could hear everything clicking into place which gave me hope. But it did the same thing, it would fire up for several seconds then stop, then nothing. I would turn the ignition on and off, and no response from the electronics. The only thing you can't test is the ecu, so it must have a fault. So I'm going to source some carbs, so I need to know what are the best. I have read that VM28 carbs are a good match.
