Need to confirm plugs are sparking

Pull lead off one plug, unscrew the plug from the engine, reconnect the lead to the plug, rest the plug on the engine casing sp that it wont fall off and the plug metal is in contact with the engine metal, try to start and look for spark at the plug tip (its easier if someone is holding the plug in contact)

the problem of non starting can be the kill switch, about wire terminal,

i'll check mine......

sits right below, just immediately under the battery :spin2: it's an earth i think.

see the two grey wires touching the bottom of the battery in your first picture

well, that's where your terminal goes, bolts to lower part of the battery tray

Naomi, that wire is an earth to the frame, I just removed mine.

If you remove the battery there are two bolts in the bottom of the plastic tray it goes there.

Hope you get it started soon...
