bikespace Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Yep - change the plug, and if you haven't already strip the carb and blow it all out, including the inlet filter. Strip off the airbox and make sure you get it spotless. Big cloth pushed down with a big screwdriver, bamboo or summat to get in there.
