So here we go again, asking for help
Just spent a week recommissioning an XS1 that probably hasn’t run for many years
I had it running a few months ago but it wasn’t firing on the left hand cylinder so I sent the carbs away for refurb to the same fella I always use (Motocarb in Liverpool). I stripped off the electronic ignition system as it was all in bits and refitted the original points based system. I spent a few hours timing all this up and setting the points gap, fitting new plugs and HT leads and I fitted a brand new loom
She started on the third kick with choke but I still can’t get it to run on the left cylinder
I have spark on both sides and if I squirt brake cleaner in to the left hand carb, it fires?
I swapped out the left hand carb for another refurbished unit and still no fire
HELP!!!
