Hi guys,

New here and have recently purchased the titled bike from a cousin. Ran really well on way home but now have issues!

Not my cousins fault mind you. However, I removed the tank and air box to have a poke around. Didn't remove anything serious and replaced everything I removed; air box breather hose, fuel tap hose and tank etc. Now, the bike turns over fine, but just won't fire. Fuel tap is ON. I was getting puffs of white vapour from exhaust and occasionally a backfire.

Removed spark plugs, there were a little black. Smelt fuely. Brushed up and replaced. No better. Was getting a spark at least on cylinder 4, didn't check rest. Replaced with new iridiums. Coils connected correctly.

Still won't start and I'm at a loss! I left the plugs out over night previously with battery on charge but to no avail. Now I'm here! Please help as I'm desperate to ride

Did you put the vacuum feed back on the fuel tap? There should be a fuel line out and a smaller vacuum hose on there somewhere, without that you won't get any fuel through.

you sure you have the HT leads on the correct way?

Just to add to tanuki's post, left coil = 1+4, right coil = 2+3.

Also be sure the battery is good as they can be a pain if they are even a little under powered. Further things which may have a bearing especially if its not been used a lot would be carbs and rectifier.

My money's on the reg/rec being toasted.



Try replacing that for starters and let us know how you get on.
