Welcome to the forum Dan. Ride safe. Go through and make sure everything checks out if you are aware of prior damage. Cheers.

 

Welcome to the forum, F3's are great bikes.

 

iv managed to bench sync the carbs .cleaned the filter and drained the fuel pump tommorow ill re gap plugs and try snd start her
.WELL I GOT HER STARTED TODAY , the last knuckle dragger that owned her ,had the spark plug leads in wrong order and on the wrong side also be had the coil wires back to front .cylinders 1 and 4 Y/b & B/W on left coil 2 and 3 Blue/y and B/w on right

 

Good spot there Dan, dont understand why previous owner did'nt use the wiring diagram

 

I know mate it's not hard looking at the wiring diagram .helps that leads and cylinders are numbered from left to right ..Haha if it didn't start next on my list was valve clearance and shims , never come across shims as my 500 uses rocker arms

 

Yeh ,one of those little extendable magnets come in handy there, if you do have to reshim any buckets, bloody things are smaller than an aspirin.

 

Yeah iv got 1 somewhere from when I dropped a bolt into my engines cam chain area lol ..but I'll do a valve check anyway just see what's what ..I can't wait to ride her

 

Nice one Dan
