    I would be +95% confident that its the diaphragm and IMO its the first thing to check.

    yep sounds like good advice you guys... and I know D will be trying them all when he gets that stupid thing called work outa the way
    Got lots done yesterday, especially given the crap weather... now I know how to drain the front forks and replace the fork oil, bleed the brakes, do a compression test...
    cheers for all the helpful stuff you guys

    Oh and one one other thing I learned... how to get *almost* all the arseholes on KB to post on a thread, thanks to Boomer/Finn/Girlygirl/Iwilde for all your helpful contributions, be sure to pop back in from time to time.

    Are you threatening Spudracer with sodomy? I think that's against the rules.

    I'd suspect fuel & would have thought tap was leaking & some crap under the float jet needle of carb 2. But ZZRs idea I wouldn't have thought of, sounds reasonable. I'll try to remember that one cheers. Check float height as well & tiny chance some how the choke was stuck on only on that cylinder, but that is totally unlikely.
    If the plug cleans up try running it for a good thrash & the comp may come up in that cylinder, but I wouldn't worry about it if there is another explanation for the plug fouling.

    When I got my GS11 the comp was all less than 90, bit of a lap & some miles & it came up ok.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    If its # 2 cylinder then its the fuel cock diaphragm. Is a common problem on GSes..Find the rubber pipe that runs from the cock to the inlet side in front of the Cyl 2 carb (thinner than the fuel line) disconnect it at the cock end and block it with something. Turn the cock to PRI (watch out for any serious leaks) start it up and if the diagphragm is at fault then you should notice an instant difference.
    If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!

    My bad I'm full of the flu so i've got an excuse.

    I'd still replace the leads though if their even slightly stiff (had 3 bikes do exactly the same thing over the years).
    FTW: i'd recommend, Eagle 8mm LPG series hi-temp silicone spiral-core cable. slighlty heavier than stock 7mm M/C plug leads but excellent in conductivity (could almost weld with the spark produced).

    And I've got a good idea of who/what the culprit is to have caused the problem to start with but I'm keeping the mouth shut otherwise i'll get scorned, but its clearly visible in the pics in the other thread.

    doesn't even come CLOSE to the tawa piston (turned out of a king country fence post i do believe) i found was the cause of the bike gradually losing power in the XL250 that was MY first ride.
