Yep fuel flows out of the fuel line when I pull them off. Have electrical power as the bike will turn over on starter but not start. Put bit of metal (re allen key) up spark plug cap on both sides and check for spark. Nothing. Pull tank and check that spark leads are still in coil. Check. Walk back to work and book tow truck.
