carbs needing balanced

camchain tensioner stuck

tickover needing adjusted

low oil, if its been run on low oil then engine will likely be toast.

How long ago did you fit the new plugs? Are they tightened up snug, or could one have worked loose a little? Are the plug caps fitted tightly?

The plug and leads are the rought I'll be lookin first . Bike runs
And pulls fine at higher revs
I'll take a look tonight . Ta

vacuum leak, did any pipes get disturbed when fitting new plugs ? sometimes old pipes are OK until they get moved and then they leak.

I'll check all tonight . The bike has only done
About 200 mile since strip down and cafe raced
One thing I do know the battery is a old one

Had a look last night but didn't have a lot of time .
Bike fired and tick over was fine until it got hot
Then was cuttin out when tickin over .
More investigation needed

turn the tickover up. should idle around 1400rpm.

I'll have a go! To me it sounds electrical
Something braking down . Like I said no problem when cold
