Running on 3 cylinders

Good point, I figured if he's asking "the basics" on diagnosis, then getting leak down/compression test done is probably beyond him, and best he calls in the cavalry. I'm sure someone on here would give him a hand for a few beers etc.

Exactly! haha if worst comes to worse I'll bring in the experts ie not me.

Is it still down on one cylinder?

Was, then magically went away, then came back and broke my bike

my bad for not checking everything when it went away, ah well gotta live with it now don't I!

Right, battery charged,

only had a small window to check it this morning at about 6am, and the neighbours weren't to keen to listen to the high pitched whirring starter motor over and over again.

But yea, just whirred and that's it, when I'm home, off will come the tank and airbox for a closer inspection of the plugs and carbs and hopefully replace the petrol.

My stupid Kawashitty wasn't starting. I've got to clean the tank out, but, it's slides were stuck, it had three BIG intake leaks, the carbs were super dirty and the battery was poked....

Well at least I'm one ahead of that. My battery is sweet. Heading home now to check it all out.
