Not starting

Hi All,
new here so this may have been answered before. If it has I'm sorry.

My ccts failed at 18000 miles and I fitted new manual ones. The cams timings went very squiffy and I had to reset them.
I put everything back together, the bike turns over but will not start. I have correct voltage, sparks on the plugs.
Does anyone have any idea of what could be wrong?

The bike was sitting for 2 months before I changed the ccts.

Does anyone have an image of where the fuel pipes go onto on the manual shut-off valve?

Many thanks everyone

If you had a CCT failure and your timing went squiffy, have you checked compression? This is a zero clearance motor.

Bad news is the valves are most likely bent. As thread killer suggested, check the compression.
There is a better photo and explanation somewhere, but I can't find it. The 90° nipple on the back of the fuel valve is where the vacuum line goes.

Compression is great. No spark at plugs . Didn't have any issues like this before fitting the new CCT's

Check if there is voltage to the coils. Maybe you pulled a wire loose.

After trying to start, have you pulled a plug and checked to see if it's getting gas?

Yes,bit getting petrol alright. Ordered new iridium spark plugs, old ones were rusty and corroded.

Where at coils do I check? Big lead going off as spark plug lead or the ones going in to the connector?

Any help appreciated

Not sure how to get a reading without the special tool. Maybe back probe the connector.

From a different way of thinking but, make sure the ignition pulse generator connector is connected since you were doing maintenance in that area. It comes thru the clutch case towards the front of the engine and is yellow and yellow / white 2 wire connector.
