You are like a drunk that has dropped his car keys veinly hunting under the street-lamp, 'cos thats the ground he can see, not looking under the car where he was trying to undo the door when he dropped them.
Its an old engine... coils and CDi units tend to be some of the most reliable bits on them; carbs, not faffed to hell and gone, likewise; old age and wear and tear starts inside the engine... thats where the drunk has lost his keys... get a compression tester on it.. or just rebarel the thing and be done, and know that you have checked under the car, so if the keys aren't under the light... go check the bar!
Bad earths? Would tend to cause a harfd fail that stops the bike running at all, or a pretty random intermittent problem, not one you see every time you try opening the throttle....
Rings and guides MAY not be the root cause, but they are a very likely contributor; process of swapping a barel, eliminates the rings and bore wear; having head off and lapping valves, eliminates a lot of chance its them; whilst act of rebuilding and following book settings, doing proper tappet and timing check, sets everything as the book says it should be INSIDE the engine..... £30 and a lazy sunday with spanners in the doing, while you could wast half a life time chasing ancillaries like coild or carbs or nieve hopes of finding rusted earths, neither fixing the problem, or leasrning anything that gets you closer to finding and fixing..... all for the sake of not wanting to see oily bits?
Bite the billet, tear the thing down and rebuild, to the book, and you will odds on 'fix' the problem in the endevour, as well as put life back in the bike and gain oomph for it. ____________________ My Webby'Tef's-tQ, loads of stuff about my bikes, my Land-Rovers, and the stuff I do with them!
