I've just had a frustrating couple of days with my 796. For the second time I have fitted new can belts, no problem done this before. After that a new set of starter cables (both from Exact Fit).

The problem now is that it is not very happy, it will fire up but is running very lumpy and will not tick over. The plugs are coming out back with fuel.

I did lock the cams in position with 6mm Drill bits to stop them moving once I had rotated the rear wheel to reach TDC, but has something moved?

I'm not sure the horizontal cylinder may be one tooth out, the alignment looks wrong.

Had any one got any ideas?
