Only things I'm aware that are left to do to it service-wise are oil and filter changes, and possible a valve clearance check. I get a very faint smell of petrol (I THINK, but I have a poor sense of smell) after about 10 seconds of trying (If this actually means anything other than gas from the exhaust).
Any ideas? I've done a short search on the forum already for answers, but if I missed a helpful thread, please link-me-up!
I am very amateur so please speak simply. I don't care for your help if you're going to be a patronising, there are plenty enough helpful, kind people on here for me to cope without you.
Merci in advance brethren!

I had this on my K6 this morning - hadn't moved for about 3 months since I got back on my Zed.
Turned and turned, no fire, I jiggled the throttle and eventually it fired up - it didnt hurt that in preparation I had Optimated the battery yesterday.
