Current status.
Bike fires up every time, still on 1 cylinder. Last start was with a new plug, didn't help, but it looks like it stopped smoking ![]() Got some ideas what to do next (thanks Chris!), will try that in a day or two. Have to give my ribs their well deserved rest. hmm... how crazy/stupid would it be to put a wee bit of petrol into the cylinder? |

Find out whether the cylinder is getting it's own fuel first.

Fuel on spark plug, or is there some other way?

Just sniffing the plug really. you could try add a small amount directly into the front carb throat.

I've tried canking it, then refit plug, start it and over and over again.
Every time the same story. ![]() What I started thinking about... The oil got to the airbox through the carbs, right? They haven't been cleaned, so can they be responsible for the cylinder not working? |

Perhaps plugged air jets. Try put a little fuel straight into the carb mouth ... if this lets it fire then you know it's a fuelling problem.

That can be done "through" the airbox?

Yes straight down the carb throat. Just a couple of drops will do, or do it with the airbox entirely removed

:/ Tried that, resulted in a bang from the exhaust, and that back to normal.

When you say back to normal do you mean back to running on 1 cylinder only?
I'd say that means the front pot is getting no fuel. Have you got compressed air available? Try a burst of carb cleaner down into the air jets with it running, might clear a drop of oil that's blocking them.
