Re: Darwin Award Nominee

Re: Bike wont fire.

The fuel supply seems to be fine. It does have a fuel pump, which pissed petrol all over my leg, so that is definitely pumping. As far as I can tell all the cut out switches are fine too. The weird thing is the fault seems to be temporarily fixed with a new set of spark plugs, but after a couple use...

23s do have a range of starting issues.
