Yeah you need a narrow spark plug socket of the right size - there should be one in the bike's toolkit if it came with one?

Buy a box spanner set off ebay, i think the one i use is 16mm, just use a socket on the other end to torque it or grips.
Like these maybe?

Ok well i finally got around the getting the spark plugs out and cleaning them. No joy....
Today i went and bought some fresh ones, put them in and again nothing... so i decided to drain the petrol and put fresh fuel in too.
Now my battery is dead at the moment so im using a bump starter to tick it over, as i plugged that in i noticed it wasnt giving it alot of power, so i charged it for an hourish and once i pluged it back in eventually the bike started and ran for 5 mins or so.
As it was running i was fart arsing about with the choke and it kept cutting out, it wouldnt tick over without me keeping some revs on it, no matter how i seemed to set the choke, and i could only get it started by giving it just a little bit of revs. Carnt say i remeber it needing me to do that before?
But anyway it eventually died and wouldnt fire again, i figured the booster pack might need charging, attempted to charge it about two times quickly to see if i could get it running again but it wouldnt. Left it on charge overnight but apart from the fact the battery is dead i carnt think what else to try?
Any idea's?
It just turns over and backfires.
Thanks, Craig
