Hi folks,
My 98 1100 has been laid up for three years, was parked up and running time when last used. I am currently putting her back on the road and have found that she's not running on the left hand cylinder (as your sat on the bike).
Ive started some elimination work and its not the plugs, swapped them over and still running on one cylinder. Im going to swap the HT leads over to see if this sheds any light, I am wondering if there could be a fuel issue where its been laid up, although it has been started regularly. The plug on the left hand side was black and sooty and the right seemed light brown. It does run on one pot but obviously need to bottom this out.
I'm guessing it could be the coil if not related to the leads? it is odd that was running fine when put away, it does have new fuel in it now too.
Any ideas would be greatly received.
kindest regards.
