Checking the plugs on a Honda SuperFour ?

    Left the bike lying up since early September. Wouldn't start, charged battery for 6 hours, even with my neighbor pushing still would not start. The engine is turning but it still will not seem to kick in. Neighbour reckons it's the plugs ?

    I've googled but cannot seem to find anything practical about changing the plugs on a Superfour, their's a thing on Youtube but it's useless. The plugs on a Superfour seem to be buried under in the engine.

    As I said I've gooled for - spark plug location superfour - etc, etc but can find nothing useful even telling me their location and how to get to them ! Would appreciate help.

    Is it something I should try have a look at or should I push it to a garage and let them have a look ?

    Open the seat, undo the two bolts, take off the fuel pipes and pop the tank off. they should be looking at you then

    The petrol in your carbs has gone off, ie. the more volatile component of petrol has evaporated out through the overflow pipe on your carbs. No amount of pushing, turning over will start the bike. You need to drain the carbs and allow fresh petrol in, whip out the plugs to check for carbon deposits due to ye trying to start the bike, clean them and refit them and try starting. For future reference, if bike is left unstarted for a few weeks, drain the carbs before you try to start it.
