What is your starting technique? Are you tickling the carb and closing the choke slide?

I`m lost here, why check ignition timing when you have a good spark (dry pug???) Have you tried EASY START spray direct into the carb?

Like poor Nelli I was out of action for a while due to a health thing and when I finally got to trying to start the normally easy starting Bullet the bloody thing sulked. I had to relearn my starting drill!. All is well know, did the MadMike Gathering & this past weekend (somewhat shame facedly 'cos i do not do trailers) trailered the Bullet to a BSAOC weekend in Norfolk
BTW who is this? Seen at Reepham & Whitwell Bike Night
