I wonder if water ingress could be an issue here for me then! The garage does get slightly damp inside ? Looks like I'll take it all off and investigate at some point in the next week or so when I have some time. I just want it back to running how it was as it's such a nice bike! Plan on doing some routine maintenance early next year but there's no point in me doing that until I get the engine running good again lol
Not necessarly while in the garage, but while riding in the rain and/or washing it. When water gets in it causes the corrosion and that leads to problems.
WD40 will push the water out, but will not fix bad corrosion.
You best bet but 4 SD10F caps cut 10mm off the leads and fit the caps. That should sort the arcing problem.

Ahh! That explains it then! And I never even considered that those other ones aren't the same rating (5Kohm) as the originals (10Kohm) So looks like I'll buy the ones you said as that makes more sense! Might even copy your idea and use the OEM cap and just put the internals and rubbers into it from the new ones haha. Thanks so much! I'll update when I get round to doing it. Just to confirm you use CR8E plugs?
