if not coil[try swapping leads round]
i think your tickover screw on the left needs turning in[raising the throttle

sounds like a crank seal has gone, see if the gearbox oil smells of petrol is the easiest way to check and it will be harder to start. It maybe using gearbox oil too although the flywheel side runs dry.
Just another avenue to check, i cant see it being carbs as the plug is wet.

Hi Jarno,

is it running on 2 or not: do both exhausts get warm?
