Starter motor won't turn over and oil pressure light isnt on. Always knew wiring would let me down 🙅

Turns over now. Not getting spark though. Oil pressure light comes on when u disconnect it from the sender and earth it against the motor.
Doesn't come on when its plugged into the sender though. Found a wire next to the gearbox that is unplugged. It runs up passenger side into engine bay.
I'm thinking this is the problem for the spark but can't work out or remember where it plugs into.

Figured out spark issue. But 1 of the banjo fittings into Weber is leaking.

Still up in Queensland atm guys. Going skydiving tomorrow morning, 14,000ft. Can't wait!
Nice to meet you too Jason. Think I sorted the fuel leaks before I left, but the battery went dead before I could really give it a good run.
Shame I didn't meet you Dave, you got some good runs on the Sunday 👍
Was that the 1904cc you were running?
All credit for the sub-box should go to Joel, its pretty much an exact "replica" of one of his. Certainly no lack of bass with two 10 inch subs in there 😏

Well managed to get the brakes bled but it seems either the battery or the starter has thrown in the towel.
Had the battery on charge for two days, still only barely turned the engine over.
Chucked some jumper leads on but now it doesnt even turn over. Can hear the solanoid clicking though 🙄

jumper leads from what kind of car? how long did you leave them on for. check with a multi meter before you start playing with the the starter.

No it doesnt do anything when you try and start it.
Just the starter solanoid clicks. Oil level is fine, think I'd notice if i lost
2.5 litres of oil since the car has been on jackstands 😂

I mean overly full. if your carbs have leaked fuel into the case., or a cylinder, it will hydro lock and you either wont be able to start it, or bend a rod
mine has done it before. i parked on a hill, and the fuel leaked into the case (over about 8 hours) and then wouldnt start. there was 2.5 litres of oil in there... and about 4 litres of fuel in there.
