OK, so I'm afraid I know as much about the internal workings of my bike as I do about the internal workings of a giraffe, about which I am deeply ashamed. However, until I get myself a decent book on 'Bike mechanics for complete imbeciles' or some such, what can I do to get a bike which hasn't been run since October started?

It sat outside for a few weeks, but covered, then put in the garage, where it's been since October, and now it will turn over but just won't start. I've charged the battery, given the plugs a quick clean (one of the builders next door showed me where they were - oh, the humiliation...) and still nothing.

Bearing in mind the level of my technical expertise runs out at 'charged the battery' , what else can I try? I'm just desperate to get out there before I forget how to ride altogether!!
