last year my bike was running like a pig (swine-flu ) type thing from cold start.. had carbs checked, they said there ok.. I'm still not happy.. run it though summer it runs good when warm but crap on cold start.. mate says pidcocks are doing a winter service.. it's around December time -5 c ish so i take it over and tell them the problem i have and leave it with them over night. next day i pick it up they say can't find anything wrong.. i told them it needs the choke on for longer than normal in summer.. but they say it is very cold at the moment!! bring it back later in April when it's warmer!!
so every two weeks i nip out to shed and crack it up over the winter layoff, each time i go out it gets worse!! in feb it's dead (back to basics) i order 4 iridium spark plugs and charge the battery
Crikey!! last Sunday put plugs in cracked it up... sweet as a nut.
No 2 plug was dead/dying black and wet on inspection!!
lesson learned... DIY rocks..
