not good :(
Done the above, tried to start it...
The starter is trying to spin but it "coughs" once, sometimes twice then resets. I've found a charger in the lock up, says battery is full, and I never had any problems with it (tried with the charger on, same thing).

I've taken the starter off, spins ok.

Help :confused:

Did it stink of fuel? Has it filled crankcase full of petrol?

Maybe I've described it wrong.
The coughing sound isn't the engine trying to fire up.
It's more like the starter managing to turn the engine a bit, but there isn't any sign of it starting.

ok, how and where can I check that?

Sniff the filler hole, if it properly reeks of fuel then that's not good. Also check the oil level, if it's an inch higher than it was the other day then you may have this problem.

Also try jump start it off another battery, or charge yours up, as a slightly low battery could easily cause this.

I've tried starting it with the charger attached, didn't help.
It lost quite a bit of oil at the recovery station (well below the "low" mark, even when leaned) so I've topped it up.

I'll try leaving it charging for a while in the morning, check if the filler hole smell of petrol.

Will post tomorrow.
Thanks

OK if it was well below low mark then it's unlikely to be hydraulic locked from fuel.

Start should spin it ok with a charge in battery.

On my way the the lock up, battery has been charging for 3h, if it doesn't start, I'm pushing it of a cliff :/

How stupid would be the idea to try to push start it? (lock up is on a steep'ish bit of road so little effort reqired).

Lol watch it not start and you have to push it back up... Sorry :-P

Worth a go, if motor turns over alright via the back wheel then it's obviously not siezed up.
