When you removed, cleaned and replaced the battery, did you, by chance forget to mount the "fall over" switch correctly?

Hello gentleman,

Looking for any kind of advice here.

Have a 1500 that has sat for the past two years, recently returned home to her and have started the process of recommissioning.

After repairing a cross-threaded spark plug on the rear cylinder (clutch side), I hooked up a car battery, turned ignition and she and she kicked into life without a whole lot of trouble.

Let her sit for a day and came back with new fluids, battery etc. After replacing oil, clutch/brake fluid & battery, cleaning and I tried to start her - no dice.

I've got a strong response from the fuel pump when ignition turns on, a strong spark on the cylinders and have a fully charged high cranking battery connected. She turns and turns but makes no attempt to start.

While I'm no professional I've got a good amount of experience on bikes and can't really think of where to check next. Any of the usual suspects seem to be well accounted for...

Any help appreciated!

Thanks,

Mal
