    That clicking sound you mention sounds like insufficient power from your battery. Have heard it before, not enough grunt to turn the engine over. My 2 cents worth.

    You can hook up some jumpers from the car, at least you'll know if it's a battery issue straight away.

    heheh the old car battery trick - crank the ***** till it starts!!

    - and if it wont suck fuel, put you're hands over the air intakes to force the downstroke to vacuum some fuel out of the carbs. usually works

    do not crank continuously as you wil burn the starter out.hit and crank, if shotguns can still be battery,with jumpers on short the solenoid terminals across and if starter works then new solenoid.if not need new starter or rebuild.

    You've got it mate, well done.:thumb_ups:
    With motorcycles it is like that, a series of elimination. You feel good when finally get it.
