A new battery won't affect the magneto spark as it generates its own electricity irrespective of the battery.  In fact its not even wired into the loom.

Get it on compression, ease it over the "top" with the valve lifter, then give one good determined swing on the kick starter.  If it doesn't fire go through the whole routine again.  Don't just keep kicking away like on a stroker or it will bite you

Thanks for that burchy, Ive had it running now, there's a definite knack to it

Hi Geoff,

Yes it arrived this morning  and all I need to do now is to learn how to start the bloody thing     which is  not just as straight forward as some might think, I'm sure that you already know that.

So, the old boys have been dipping into their pension funds eh, I think I will be there on Sunday and the weather forecast isn't looking too bad, I won't be on the Beezer which is undergoing further clutch 'adjustments' cos its dragging, and the Velo is still on SORN (so I have got that to get sorted) although it is now insured.

Here's a few pictures of the Venom to keep you dribbling, and all things being equal I will see you on Sunday 10.30 ish 

rog.. now you've removed the front and rear brake discs how are you going to stop the bugger you've obviously have not thought this through..
