VFR not starting at all today. Have pulled and cleaned all plugs / checked plugs and coil sticks... but apparently they may still be going even if they show ok off the bike. The bad fuel economy and idling surges are a sign of a stick failing apparently. That would cause fuelling issues which would foul all plugs. If it was something I'd distrubed like a wire then it would likely be more definite and not surging I'm guessing. I was going to get one stick to swap around just to rule it out, but Fowler's price is £114+vat per stick!! Damn. Looking around breakers...
