Starting issue

[ghostbiker]

slept all day lol so havent had a chance to take a look.
Plugs were changed with a full service in june last year, since then its done a fraction over 5k miles plugs are iridiums
Battery was replaced with a new gel one less than 2 months ago

although i havent checked charging voltage today it was checked when i replaced the battery and was bang on spec from the haynes manual.
but will recheck once i get off my arse tomorrow
going by how well it was turning over for the first starts i wouldnt think it was battery related. it took a lot of punishment before it started to labour at all.

there was a smell of fuel when the problem was starting but there isnt a smell or fuel under the bike since i parked it up at home.
there is the normal buzz of fuel pump on start up and other than it not starting within 1 second of the button press everything else seems normal.

I didnt think about the fuel float being stuck would be just 1 of the 4 stuck so yeah thats a very unlikely one.

hope i will know more tomorrow when i try to start it again. battery is fully charged again and as i didnt let it run complealty dry it should be fine.
