Actually, it was only a couple of weeks from an amusing ride around Sandwich and environs (and a fill-up) and it not starting.
It sounds fucked ... Let your mate know I will give him £500 for it and collect tomorrow

Oh FFs .. go on then £1k….
It only stood for a couple of weeks between working fine and failing to start.
There's lovely big spark from both plugs, so I suspect fuel.I think you have missed the point. Shit happens with a bike that rarely turns a wheel.
If it fires up with a squirt of quick start, then you have proven that your search needs to be backwards up the fuel system - carb, with blocked jets, passages, float stuck; fuel lines disintegrating, fuel tap blocked; tap filter blocked; wrong fuelled. If it doesn't fire up, then sparks become the next suspect.
A recalcitrant bike = Christmas fun.
shit in the pipe..?

I appreciate that, but the bike hasn't been touched since it was last running fine. And the geometry of the plug leads would make that impossible.I have come across that assumption many times.
The usual is someone tinkering with the bike, who inadvertently switches the plug leads or coil connections over. Then there is that fat spark that proves a tad slim under compression.
That's why many techs will tell you to use a squirt of quick start - it adds direction, definition to the fault find.
Your bike, your problem, your choice - just trying to help.
Clearly the Butler is just as clueless otherwise he would have had him out there doing it by now.It would appear so……

Bad news. My Harley independent of choice (Grizzly's in Folkestone) has gone out of business.
Now looking for an alternative.
