Just got it firing!
2013 V7 Special, 15.5k miles
Last weekend, routine maintenance. New plugs, valve adjustment, engine gearbox and diff oil change. I've done this twice before with zero drama (and once before with significant drama).
Now it just won't run. It starts, runs rough, but only if I goose the throttle and keep it above 2500 rpm. Then it spits fuel out the charcoal canister. Removed new plugs, brand new left cylinder plug is completely fouled.
Checked everything over again this morning, cleaned and re-gapped plugs, checked valve clearances, everything in spec. Same symptoms.
I'm feeling equal pulses come out of both exhaust (maybe a false impression due to the balance pipe between them?) Exhaust smells rich.
What are the usual methods of verifying spark?
Anything else I should be looking at?
Thanks,
