Thanks Gents - I now have a spark just need to get it to fire up! As I am doing all the work on this maybe!

She has fired up! - Bit of a cough and splutter but got to idle doesn't like to go over 2000rpm suspect carb needs a bit of attention - Suggestions welcome. Thanks again.

hi omit, I too have a thunderbird 05 350,I had a lot of problems with the carb on that bike and in the end got wayne at hitchcocks to do me a amal conversion kit for it and now its tranformed the bike, easy to start and rev, you should consider this if you keep it, I also have plenty of ignition spares as they dont all work properly from new, be aware !

Glad to hear it. We're simply here to help. Now you face the bumpy road to getting it Registered. I've been through the process myself with my 500 Lightning (One of the Thunderbirds bigger brothers)and I expect that others here have done the same. Help is never far away.
