bike problem
M600 '94
The Horizontal cylinder on my Monster decided to stop working last night.
The plugs had only been changed 3 days ago.
Sprayed WD40 through the carbs two days ago, to try and fix a problem with the monster starting in the cold (which did work)
The Plug in the vertical cylinder is fine (Going by Haynes manual photo)
The plug in the horizontal cylinder is jet black.
Whatever I try I cannot get the horizontal cylinder to catch.
I am unsure on what could be causing this problem, and basically was wondering if any of you could point me in the right direction to start troubleshooting. N.B It backfired like a machinegun for a few seconds before dieing completely.
From My limited mechanical knowledge I can deduct that it would be caused by one of the following (blocked carb, b0rked HT lead or the more expensive piston/cylinder barrel faliure.)
If you could advise me which areas to check first, as obvoiusly I dont want to get started on a Top-end rebuild and find out it was something stupidly simple that I missed.
TIA for any pointers.
