  • will not start

    Hi there all
    On my 81 xs1100 midnight will not start. Just put in new fuse block did it wire by wire same as it was before. This bike was stolen and recovered but drove it. Lock cylinder was and is broken screwdriver to turn on. Battery proper volts spark out of plugs fuel is flowing well but will not start nor even try. Would love any input. Thanks all
