Cheers Stretchie, it is a Lexmoto Vixen with the pulse 125 engine, double and triple checked the kill switch. It would kill the ignition if it was not working or not in the right place right? Will check whether the weak spark becomes no spark at all next time I have a look at it just to be quadruply sure. Probably a good idea to check the side stand switch while I'm there.

The choke is on the carb, tried with it both up and down but will give the middle position a go for completeness. I seem to remember that when it did run it didn't particularly like having the choke completely off. Possibly a blocked jet somewhere or is running with the choke in the middle pretty standard for them?

I'm leaning more towards it being an ignition issue than fuelling though, based on the fact that the spark plugs are definitely wet with fuel after cranking it. If it was making any effort at starting at all, not idling or running rough I'd have thought a fuelling issue was more likely?
