Hot restart updated-now second kick starter everytime
the wrinklyone needs help again,sadly this year I haven't done much riding,when I have bike always starts first or second kick from cold & then after a run has usualy been parked for a couple of hours before re starting with no problems for the return home.However yesterday I took it out for a short 20-25 mile run,started second kick & performed superbly as always,cut the engine while I opened the gates & unlocked my shed & would it restart ,no to put it mildly,after nearly 20 minutes frustation checking spark,fuel etc I put it away,on returning home tonight I wheeled it out of the shed & yes it started first time.Only clues I have were good spark, plug colour of brown toast,some backfiring thro exh while trying to restart,plug was dry although eng smelt gassed up,any ideas out there ? mike b.

"condensers are new old stock,not used"
I don't care if they're old new stock or new old stock or just plain old, you don't want to use 'em. Get a new condenser. If that doesn't do it, try a new coil.
as a further thought I am running ngk b7hs plug,would a b6hs be a better option
No.

At last solved the mystery,after lots of headscratching threw away the supressed (some people call them resistor) sparkplug cap & replaced it with non resistor/unsupressed cap,had no problems since,I can only assume the old cap was breaking down under heat.Finaly stopped raining over here by the way,lots of smiles per gallon to be had now, all the best everyone, mike b.

hello bob, I saw these advertised in this months old bike mart & it prompted me to have a look at their website,the idea of the built in timing light is certainly a good idea,this is high on the shopping list at the moment together with an led charging indicator I spotted at the bristol bike show see -
