Hi, you could try and warm up the plugs to dry them out with a blow torch or on the hob of a gas cooker( if knowbody female is watching), get the electrodes nice and glowing. Or try some new plugs, just cos there sparking when there out doesnt always mean they'll spark in the engine.
Merry xmas.
Cheers

CR8EH-9 is the NGK plug number. I may still have some. I'll check and let you know.
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

Genuine Part
The 24 didn't come with resistor plugs as stock (CR8's) but either should work ok.

Those plugs don't die very easy.

How are you trying to start it, have you had it running at all? Did you buy it as a running bike or a project? Heard it runnign before?

Dont modify the vaccum tap
