HELP! Bike engine trouble shooter needed - Kawasaki engine, electronic installation issue?

Hi All

Langushing in my garage is my loverly Radical Supersport. One of the rods punched a hole in the side of the original motor nearly two years ago! I acquired a very trick replacement motor (was in a Jedi hillclimb car) removed the original motor and installed the replacement with original dry sump etc. A mechanic I know well spliced the radical and Jedi loom together and we then chased trying to get it to run for a few months. Since then, other aspect of life have taken over and this has been neglected, until now!

So, I'm now at a point where I need to get some help with getting this thing going. I'm way out of touch with what we've done/tried/failed with so far and I need to hire someone to come in and get the bloody thing going again!

I would be very appreciative of recommendations and or introductions to someone who can incan hire to get this car back out on track Days! I'm in mid Bedfordshire, pretty close to J12 off the M1.

Thanks in advance

I'm only up the road in Leighton Buzzard, if you have tools and somewhere to work at yours I'm happy to come along and spend an afternoon tinkering with it to see if we can get it going if you like.

No charge!

This is a very kind offer, many thanks... I'm a little out of my depth with finding the fault here, so it's a pretty complicated situation. It's not an installation issue persay, more of a sensor, wiring, compatibility issue between existing Radical wiring and this motor. Replaced countless parts, switched back from the fuel injection to the original carbs etc, but just can't resolve what is causing this not to fire.

This confused me not going to lie, do you want me to come by and have a fiddle?

Drop me a U2U if yes.
