So I gave my bike an oil change and it turns over much better now without the water in it! (I used some seafoam, but couldn't get it running, just turned it over a bunch).
It gives a few thumps but won't start. The thumps are fairly rough. I'm worried the points are filthy. The spark plugs are new expensive ones recommended.
I can't get the f'n points cap off! Any suggestions?
Also any ideas as towards the rougher thumping?
I wanted to test spark but the sitaution is that, as you know, the spark plug wire contacts are recessed a little too much. ATM I'm afraid to pull the spark plug out because of debris around it. (I'm not interested in pulling the head). I clearned the contact on the postive side of the battery as it was corroded some, but not bad.
