I have just got the new wiring loom on the bike and started it for the first time since i bought it.
It will only start with some choke (as expected) but as soon as it fires it just revvs out to like 10k

I have cleaned and set the carbs as per manual - the jets are quite bige 124's and it has a K+N filter and full quill exhaust.
I have set all the shims and have a brand new battery.
I managed to get the bike started just now on the choke and as soon as it started revving out i reduced the amount of choke and it died after about 3 seconds.
Now i also hear a knocking/ticking and noticed some white/blue smoke from the exhaust.
I dont want to suspect piston rings just yet as the bike has been stood for quite some time and i was expecting some smoke/moisture from the exhaust.
The cam chain tensioner is about half way through it's travel.
The shims when done were tight, but not rediculous - so i dont think the cam timing is out.
Anyone have any other suggestions as to what it could be?
Also what size compression tester fitting woudl i need for these engines?
Many thanks
