Default why wont my s2 start!?!

ok, bout 2 months ago i was having probs with my mfi s2 not starting, was told by mr rac twice it was the dizzy, changed for a recon one and it still did it, anyway it sorta stopped doing it for a while, till this week, where its done it 3 times!!!

basically i go to start it, she fires up for half a sec then cuts out, and when i go to restart she just turns and turns and turns...

she IS getting a spark, not sure about fuel will have a look,
if i leave her for 10 mins and try it she starts fine.

Can yo smell fuel when yo first start her? Does it run lumpy?

Cheers

Mine does that some times, or should i say did do that some times, what i did was, well my mate put new connectors on the fuel pump and next to the dizzy is a little click with 3 tin connectors inside, i smashed it and soldered them properly and have worked much better ever since.
Sounds a bit dodgey but worked for me.
