a couple of problems!!!

[steve87]

as stated on the other page, my bike has the hot starting problems.
i am not sure if i have got bad ht leads or coils.
i know with a car to test ht leads, take em of, fire the engine and you should see a spark or many of them as well as a click noise.
well this isnt happening on my bike.
everything eems to be fine, bar firing up at the moment.
the bike had sat for quite a while before i got it,
so does this sound plausable, and if so where should i get replacement ht leads from.
my bike is currently restricted by the cdi, due to haviung a mph speedo on it.
i have turned the cabs down to 1.5 screws on th mixers, as seemed a little rich at 2.25.?
my neutral light comes on when the clutch lever is pulled in.
any ideas why.
my bike also has a tendency to cut out at junctions, eg will be reving fine then jus go dead.
i need help asap as i really love the bike and want to get it running spot on.

have you changed the plugs? i've been trying for the last week to get mine fired up but it aint havin any of it, came home tonight put a new set of plugs in and it fired as soon as i hit the buzzer!

[steve87]

what ive changed at the moment is...
plugs,
fuel filter,
ive put cleaner through the carbs,
but i think i may be running a little weak now?
gonna whip a plug out and look

[masterofinsanity]

how old is the battery? have you tried jump starting it.

[steve87]

to confuse you a little more. battery is brand new. i havent put the pbattery on charge, just on the bike and reidden it, should i stick that on charge. it will fire up now. im confused though

[masterofinsanity]

your confused?

[steve87]

i have to come to the conlusion that the battery being new, needed a proper good charge on the optimate, so thats what its getting. i wanna sort my cdi/ restriction out asap, as i think this is playing havk with the bike.
i have fond some l dials, with a de restrictor plugged in. i wanna get these and plug them in, wicked, to solve the restriction problem.
i think the hot start problems are not enough battery gumph, so hoepfully, we will see in the next few das.
i am also gonna whip the plugs out and check the mixture, as i fell it may be slightly weak now.
ill let you know tomorrow.
any ideas are welcom
