Dropping a pot... fairly loud knocking noise at tickover

[Beelzebob]

Hi folks

Got almost to work in the Scottish monsoon this morning and the Divvy 600 starts dropping a cylinder.

I think it's probably something in the ignition (plugs, leads) that is causing it to drop out. However I'm just a tad concerned about the noise at tickover when it's running on 3 - it's sounding even more like a bag of spanners than normal.

Is this normal, like a knock on every up stroke? It sounds fine when it's running on all four... just don't want to fook the engine unnecessarily.

'92 600 Diversion, 'bout 37k miles.

Cheers.
Bob

Cheers Rob amazing how easy it is not to think of the easy water repelling solution.

I WD40'd up the two outside plug caps and this seems to have sorted for time being
