    Are your float bowls filling up?

    Pull one of the drain plugs and see how much gas comes out

    After that, maybe some new spark plugs

    Are the plugs uniformly black?

          update: just noticed that when the choke is off, as i try and start the bike, if i slowly raise the choke on, it sounds like air is getting pushed out / escaping from somewhere... will research this and try to fix. Sounds like a sucking noise. Any opinions / insight?

          Edit: nevermind, i heard this sound with my airbox open and it was actually just the sound of air sucked from the airbox

            Hi,

            Is your air filter clean and NOT over-oiled? What voltage are you getting at the coils? See post #4 above.



            Thank you for your indulgence,

              The airfilter from the PO is in horrid condition so i removed it just now, and will be ordering a new one tonight.
