My 1975 cb 750 when starting from cold only runs on three cylinders then after about a minute runs on four and is fine any ideas anybody.
-
Is it always the same cylinder?
-
Yes number three .
-
It might be a sticking float valve that frees itself with the vibration of the other cylinders running.

Is there a posh part? Woodhall Spa would be the 'poshest' I suppose. Ok if your thing is chasing white balls around a field ;D ;D ;D Or is it Stamford?

Welcome to the forum.
Don't known what you've checked so far so some things to verify I'd do; swap plug leads 2 with 3 if they'll reach to reasonably eliminate the HT section of number three. Start it in the dark and look to check for HT leads tracking to earth when you first start it.
Check to see the choke flap for no 3 is intact and going to position correctly.
Suspect the idle circuit on no3 if you're not certain it's clean and operating correctly. Try backing idle screw out on no 3 while it's running to see if it responds.
Swap the plugs on 3 and 4 to see if problem transfers.
Are the compressions equal for all four cylinders.

Thanks will try that.
-
Yes Rusty ,Now that is the nice part of Lincs ,
-
Thanks will try that.
1st thing I would try is another spark plug in No 3 either swap one from another cylinder or a brand new one
-
Think i have got a self inflicted problem it would not run at all last night there was no spark on number one cleaned plugs and it started so will leave it now till i can go out on the road looks like it hates ticking over in the shed .And they are new plugs.
