[QUOTE="Holmil, post: 16226, member: 293"] I have now fitted two new coils and plug leads sent to me by Tony at BT-H. The bike starts if the carbs (monoblocks) are flooded and then cuts out almost inediately. Is this blocked jets or advance & retard problem? I have new plugs but have also tried older ones. I have taped the plug leads on to the casings minus their caps and the spark will arc between the two. I have cleaned out the carbs and blasted them through with compressed air. I have checked the tappet clearances. The fact that the same problem persists on both cylinders makes me think the problem is with a single source, however I will try what ever sugestions are made. Thanks again, Holmil [/QUOTE]
