Hi all

Been many years since I've posted on here!

I have a 2000, 600 Bandit refusing to start. It has a spark, put fresh fuel in it. Stripped and rebuilt carbs. Fully charged battery. Will turn over fine but point blank refuses to fire. I had it in a garage back in November to sort as was laid up and fuel had gotten into the oil/crankcase. So garage sorted it and rode fine. I left it laid up for a number of months and never started it (my own fault) and now refusing to start again!

Any ideas ?

try some easy start, it may just need some encouragement.

It has spark but if you turn it over a bit are the plugs damp with petrol when you pull 'em?

The plugs seem dry. Guessing that's indicating no fuel getting to cylinders?
