R1 still not starting?
engine was not starting late last week and battery was struggling.charged battery today and still wont fire. ignition is fine but when shorting a plug
to earth there is no spark. the only thing i have done since sva (where it started fine) is disconnect a second speedo which i needed for sva. one
wire went straight to ignition.3 wires to speed sensor and one was connected onto a spade which i dont know what it does.as is now loose. if i touch
this to ignition barrel all lights on savage switches come on. any suggestions as to why there is no spark?

Have you ran through the diagnosis mode on the clocks, this will allow you to fire the plugs and see if the ignition system is working

Is the starter relay clicking and giving a feed to the ECU, that was one of the initial problems we had on my car

I would re-fit the speedo to make sure that is not the cause of the starting problem. You may have unknowingly pulled out another connection or fused
something.
Did the speedo have illumination? I would have thought it would have speedo sensor wires, illumination, earth and ignition live.

speedo has been sent back to mnr. it was like a bike clock so not sure if it had illumination. it could be the case though!

Curious - Did you or Marc fit the earth strap from battery/chassis to engine?
Check the fuse box as that was always the weak link in the loom. If it's as it was, the ECU has its own fuse I think.
Keep me informed - I'll have a think.
