I have tried everything to no avail. Spoke to my mechanic on the phone told him everything I have done so far and he even researched the timing and called me back and said I have everything right except in his opinion a weak battery with possible fouling of the new plugs. I now have petrol in the oil so I know its has flooded through all of the constant trying to start.

I am knackered from trying to bump start it today. My guy says by putting it on the rollers it will definitely start with some tweaks that I just cant do pushing it or trying to jump start it in the cold.

That's a bugger spur,,, jump it from a car battery,

Oh I have done it before. But not after all this commotion.

Make sure the HT leads have not been switched around ( by switching them around and trying it ) . On some parallel twins it makes no difference which way round they are fitted , not sure about your V-twin though . Give it a whack , you never know .
