cass:
cheers for the offer friar tuck ! but i have to decline your offer as i stay in the uk , and it would be crazy to send it over to me . the guy`s on this site are so genuine and helpfull . i tried starting it today just wetting the plug all the time, took mag and stator plate off again now theres a small amount of black oily fuel on the crank seal i take it is blown ? i just replaced them when i did the rebuild. including crank case bearings ! bike has only been ran it 1-2 hours puttering around so what caused them to blow? still waiting to get new plugs! tied my jetski plugs in it and still nothing?
tharden:
Know this is getting interesting. This is what I think has happened. You replaced everything in the engine, but you may have a blockage in your pipe. You are getting too much back pressure on the engine and developing too much crank case pressure causing the seals to blow out. try starting the bike without the muffler or pipe and see what happens.

cbxRACER,
Thats a new one for me but a great idea. I know a bike with a soaking wet air filter won't start with all the water vapour drawn in. A puddle in the bottom of the crank case would do much the same. I'll add that one to the memory bank. A plugged exhasut pipe will definitely prevent it from starting but I can't say that I have ever encountered that except when I am an idiot and leave my butt plug thingy in my silencer. Cam.

cass,
sounds like you may have a cdi problem to me, you seemed to have checked everythin else, so as i noticed u said ur in uk, try westcountry windings for a replacement. when mine died corby kwak wanted over 200 quid, but westcountry do one for about 115 all in.hth. you can get em on 01279 731172.
