1200 bandit problem

[Guest Manxzookie]

I've got a bandit 12 in  its got a new battery  and it's still struggling to turn over  any ideas ? Cheers stu

Whats the cranking voltage when you push the tit??  did it just suddenly start struggling to turn over or has it got progressively worse??

[Guest Manxzookie]

yes just started doing this  but I've had the head off also cam timing is spot on  

[fatblokeonbandit]

Id check the cranking voltage first and the small earth cable that feeds the loom, it comes off the main battery earth just after it leaves the battery

If you have had the head off dose it turn over by hand with on spark plugs in freely???

Iv had the same problem and it was the flywheel left hand side had come loose and was spinning on the end of the crank.
