400/4 is popping & banging with poor mpg where to start?

Woooohooo Ted, now it'll feel good to ride  :)

At least not too hard to correct and get you back on track.

I will need to trim down the HT leads as I have left them slightly on the long side for the first fit!

Can't wait to try the bike on a run to Ashbourne probably tomorrow.

YES, YES, YES, YES.  that's four yes's for four cylinders!

To be on the safe side I plan an oil change asap in case of sump dilution as a result of 115 miles on 2 cylinders.
Moped power to 400/4 now the HT leads fitted in the right order.

Ted,  Be as generous as you can with lead lengths, as you may need to re-attach the caps one day, and the leads do deteriorate/ get mangled when you manhandle leads to get the plugs out!  Having some slack will help.

Have fun,

Jerry
