Been for a run out, bikes OK, tps still showing 10000 and won't budge so it can suck a bag of dicks as the bike seems to run ok.

After Reading this thread I noticed that No:3 cylinder was not firing (hence my enquirey about carb cleaning prices) well after some investigation for cheaper fixes I found this product 'Wynn's Air intake & Carburettor Cleaner'. I gave it a good blast in the intake of the carbs and shazzam as if like magic I'm firing on all 4 again.

If anyone is interested I got it from Euro Car Parts for about £3 something for a 500ml can otherwise it's in Halfords for about £7, you probably can get it cheaper somewhere online.

You just take the air filter out start up bike and blast it straight through airbox?

Correct, give it a good blast just on tickover then give it a blast with the revvs at about 2k to 3k then just on tickover again, turn it off and let it settle for about 30mins to an hour then fire the bitch up again. Thats what I did and it seemed to work 

Just go careful that you don't get it on any paintwork as it will eat through it like acid

arcing from plug caps will also cause those symptoms
