It must be something to do with the neutral start switch, are you sure you have wired it properly?

hey guys, thanks for your help so far, i think i wired it correctly. i have read a few threads on this and i did what they say to do. i removed a relay from near the battery and then joined the two purple wires near the relays but i am getting nothing but electrics and fuel. will check the spark and that fuel is actually getting to the rail. have i done the re wiring corectly?

Steve you can only use 5 speed starter motor on a manual gearbox...If you can grab a VLT Starter motor of someone give it a go Steve you sure the starter motor is on right? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
