I think it just might be the fuel! I just drained the tank and this is what came out! I've drained the fuel bowls and am off to get some fresh fuel.

Finally got to give it a run last night. Damn thing still didn't want to start without a lot of choke! Finally got moving and cleared it out. Needs a full tank of fresh fuel though despite adding meths to try and dissipate any residual water. All this because of one blocked tank drain!

I've just experienced the same problem! - I rode it to the Garage to get it looked at and en-route it came back to life!

Give it a try! - the exact same thing happened to my mate (also owns a curvy!) but be patient i was going for a good 10 minutes before she sprang back to life!
