Panic over.....
New spark plugs arrived today, just fitted them & the bike is healthy again.
I have had a couple of sleepness nights worrying about taking the carbs off.
With regard to the crackling/sizzling from what I thought was the ignition is in fact coming from the exup servo motor (You were right Mike). Still sounds like a unhealthy electrical sizziling to me though.
Thanks for all you help everyone.
