No i think its got a blokage as cant smell petrol even on prime.When i got bike sprayed i had tank cleaned and a seal wealded. 3 weeks later when i got bike back from sprayers could hear a bit of rust loose in tank so maybe thats the problem?

Have you checked the compression ?
My RZ ran fine on a 40 mile trip and then when I tried to start it next time, it wouldn't go.
I tried all the usual stuff and then did a compression test - way down on both cylinders.
Oil pump cable had snapped, obviously damaging the bores/rings and hence the low compression and refusal to start.
