I have just fired up my 912S after new sprag clutch, fitting soft start, new plugs and 6 month lay up. It has always been quite smooth before but now it feels very rough. I pulled the plugs and the two from no. 1 cylinder are black and sooty whereas all the others are clean / whitish. Carb balance is not perfect but not at all bad.

Any idea's why this should be and where to start would be appreciated.

Richard,

Black soot is usually a carb problem, though it would also probably show
up in the #3 also. There is also the possibility of ignition problems
on that cyl. A place to start, anyway...
