Hi folks
Hope you're all having a merry crimbo.
I know this topic has prob been covered before but need wisdom.
tried to start project #2 today, been neglecting the NC's due to workload.
It ran ages ago but been standing since.
It had a service including new plugs at the time.
But now the bugger won't start. I checked plugs, all getting spark.
Took all 4 out, cleaned them & tried again with no luck.
Checked plugs again, rear 2 totally dry, front 2 wet & quite dark.
Battery was fully charged too
Any advice? Pull carbs off for a clean etc?
Thanks
Vic

Carb fettling time 

Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

Re: Starting problems
new plugs time too...or bake them good and proper.
put the wet ones in the back as they might not get drowned so easy..
