She won't go! 😞

All's well that ends well I suppose but nothing worse than not getting to the bottom of it.

No doubt the problem will reappear again at a crucial moment when you desperately need it

nothing worse than an intermittent fault ..... especially one that rights itself whilst you're trying to find the damned thing

I went upto her this afternoon, had a quick look at the dead man lever switch, seems to be in good enough condition, clicked it a few times and sound nice and positive in the action. Thought to myself it's something else causing the issue. Had a look about some of the wiring looking for a bad earth or something. Must have spent 15mins looking and thinking about it. Sat in the seat again and turned the key and instantly fired up. . I didn't do anything other than look at it but what ever it is it seems to be fine now. I tried with arm up and down, on and off the seat but starts no matter what!

Well if all you need to do is give it a good hard stare (like Paddington bear) I’ll have your numbers then any problems I get you can have a LOOK

Just have to put all the panels back on that I striped off yesterday looking for the fault.

This statement is freakishly accurate .
Fortunately I had started the machine up and went about putting on the panels, had them all on bar the one under the seat next to the fuse box. Started putting it on and had to poke the wires in a bit to get it in place and she stopped suddenly gave the wires a bit wiggle and could hear the sparks as they made contact. Bloody loose wires! Re-did the connection and is now working fine. Thank fcuk I had it running when I put the panels on or I'd have been pulling my hair out again trying to find why it won't start
