if your battery is good find your starter relay (left hand side, under the rear panel, close to the battery), take a screwdriver and whilst insulating your hand use the screwdriver to short over the two large outside connectors (one has the thick wire coming directly from the battery), this should send power directly to your starter motor...if it doesnt turn then either the starter motor or starter relay is definitely dead.

if it now turns then your starter relay is dead, i have one, £15 delivered to the UK.

Had the same problem before with lots of assistance from the guys here.

I trust you've checked everything? I mean EVERYTHING as per listed in the diagram in the manual?

You're saying it cranks but no spark right? What I did was unplug every single connector and replugged it back it. Turns out it was a dodgy connection somewhere, cept I don't exactly know where. vsad

But it, it starts now! smiler
