Wee Man

Thanks Dave, hopefully there we'll before 7.

Can you drop the bikes off on Friday night?

Doesn't look half bad

Yip

Lucky man Hope you're not too badly duffed up.

First thing to check would be the thermostatic switch, wherever that might be mounted? If you have a multimeter, pull one of the connectors off the switch, put the meter probes on either contract and with the meter set for continuity, it should read open circuit when cold. If you get continuity, switch is FUBAR. Also worth checking is the relay for the fan.....assuming it has one.

@Tony Hhere you go.

I'll have a look tomorrow once back from work. I'm sure I've got one kicking around.

A guy in Holland was selling it, it's meant for a Slabbie.

Finally found a catch tank I like. It should tuck up nicely in the subframe. I just need to get some AN take offs welded to it, I don't like the barb fittings.

Me, for definite.

What size of wire did you use for battery to relay and relay to starter?

No, the starter should have spun when you did this. Check the wire from relay to starter for continuity with your multimeter. Also check engine earth.

Sounds like the starter relay is faulty. If you've bridged the terminals and it starts, you're bypassing the faulty relay. Clicking doesn't necessarily mean it's working correctly.
