Well I had a great time with my son at Brands Hatch.
Stopped over for the night at a prem inn.Then off home on the Monday.
On way down seemed to use a bit more petrol than usual. Put that down to the fact my son was on the back, the speed and full luggage. Nothing to do with my slender frame!!
On way back bike seemed a bit chuggy, misfiring a few times when I was filtering on the M1. At speed it was OK but still didn't feel right.
I came off motorway abt a hour from home, was well and truly board with Mway driving.
I was on the A51 to Chester, hit some slow trafic. Started overtaking, thought I love being on a bike!
Just abt to to overtake Harry in his Nissan micra that's never gone over 45 mph! Gave it some throttle, then bang. Engine noise went up,lost power,could smell fuel. Had to pull over by Tarvin round about ( big thanks to the 3 bikes that went past and didn't bother stopping!!)
Have read on here abt the rubbers getting blown off from top of head to the injectors, so thought I would check that 1st. Tool kit out, tank off by road side, no rubbers still on.
Oh well time to call AA. Put it all back together, thought I would turn it over while having a look at engine.
Followed the noise and bugger me saw white tip of the spark plug poking out from under the rad and the HT lead just hanging down!!
Plug back in cap back on and hay ho off we go.
Now start to see my arse because 2 months ago I paid over 200 of my hard earned pennies, for a M O T and service.
So today going to put my BIG boots on and do some serious Donkey kicking at my local bike garage!!
