Try tightening them, if they will not tighten then remove the cap and cut the mandatory 10mm off the wire and refit the cap
I think we have a winner. :woot
All the carb rubbers are absolutely fine, no hint of any degradation whatsoever, but after trying all the plug caps they were all quite solid in place apart from cap number 3, which although not loose as such it was actually rotating quite easily compared to no movement whatsoever with the other 3.
Tightened it up until it felt as good as the others, started the bike, and it sprang to life immediately on the button.

Job's a good'un, i do like it when it's a nice and easy fix and it doesn't cost anything either.
Thanks for the input everyone. :thumbup
