The plot thickens

Okay so I've changed the HT leads, spark plugs and still it fires but idles really badly and dies. I don't know why because it doesn't make much sense but I think my battery (which went flat the other week) or alternator are somehow to blame. I took the battery off to charge and it was very low again so my feeling was even more that this was to blame. While it was charging I started looking at other alternatives. I removed the air filters and noticed one was on upside down blocking the vents.


Right way up

Upside down
Changed it round so hopefully this will help when I start to tune the carbs in the coming weeks. Anyway after charging the battery for about 6 hours I thought I would give it a try. It fired up first time and idled as per normal. Whats that all about??
