local person

does it turn over well? How does it run when it does get going...

could be damp on the HT leads or plugs when cold, so first check those.

it seems to be ok when it gets going, in fact there is no difference to when it was starting fine, it sounds like it is turning over ok but its just not starting the engine, thanks! how would i go about checking the plugs and such?

take out a plug at a time, check if its damp (touch it) and then with it out, turn the engine a few times & see if there is a spark.
