Howdy fellow bikers.
I just got my hands on a 1985 model, but it has some starting problems, it wount fire, has a few burning bangs now and then, just bought a new coil on left side syl. 1 and 4, becouse the old one had a crack, thougt i was home free, but not... :cry:
Firing order is left coil 1, 4 right coil 2,3 from left side, sitting on bike, is this correct ? carbs has been out and cleaned, it was gasolin in the engine oil, have changed oil with new.
Could it be a faulty ignitor ? i Have checked the rubber sealings on top off all 4 carbs, all good.
Any tips ???

Turned out after cleaning carbs and petcock and this dident solve the problem, i then bougt new spark plugs, and guess what... :)
Turnes out that last owner has used wrong spark plugs, next issue now is getting carbs back to basic since hi also has tempered with the carbs settings.
