Can you help pretty please - i have just purchased the above, its been stood for a while and i have put fresh fuel in got a spark on all four plugs, fuel is getting into the carbs it turns over but then i get most enormous back fire i've ever heard. i can only presume its jets are blocked maybe

Hi there Kingofbling,

if you are getting a backfire then there is fuel getting through....no fuel....no backfire. whether or not fuel is getting to all cylinder is another thing.

One of the first things I would check is to see that the correct ht leads go to the correct cylinders if these have been swapped for any reason that could cause a massive backfire because then the cylinders would be firing in the wrong order.

Checked to ht lead order cheers, but found the problem !!! the obvious - it would help if it had the correct plugs, put them in and one touch of the button and it started no splutter at all.

thanks Matt

Ok Matt then have fun with your newly aquired 900f

cheers Witch

Matt well done, sometimes the obvious is easily over looked
