Need a mobile mechanic near Castleford...

Hey guys. Our long running project is taking far too long now, and we figure the solution is to get a mobile mechanic (or someone who knows what they're doing and is willing) to come and have a look at it. To sum up the bike is complete but fails to start on the button. The OH is convinced that a missing sidestand switch is causing the problem but the wiring loom says different. Have tried a different loom, different CDI. Running out of ideas.

Can anyone recommend a mechanic in the Castleford area? There are plenty of shops around but want to avoid them if possible. If not, does anyone care to look at a suspected electrical fault on a Kawasaki ZL 400?

I will be interested in any replies. Whilst I do most of my own spannering it's nice to know someone nearby to call on if things get tricky.

You could try this guy.
I have met him a few times but I can't vouch for his work. He has, however, been at it for a long time and I've not heard anything bad about him so he may be worth a punt.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Have tried to contact Paul with no luck. I can appreciate its an awkward time of year though. Anyone suggest someone else?

I used Paul Haigh a couple of times years ago and he was good....
