hi all
pulled my bike out last wkend i havent used it for a few mths as i bought new toy lol started it up on choke struggled to start eventually got it going but sounds like its only running on 3 also wont tick over with choke on or off im thinking carbs, but will a good run clear it or will they have to be stripped do you think
regards keith

Check the plugs are good, and the leads are attached well. For a minor issue a good run could make it better but you don't want to be riding around on 3 cylinders.

It could also be stale icky fuel , give it a thrashing and see if its going to improve. Always drain the carbs if your not going to use the bike for a while.
