XT 600 34L starting problems
hi, im new to the forum but have been browsing it for a while and im glad ive finally gotten round to registering 
im having abit of trouble with our 34L, it has always been a bugger to start but would like to try and sort it before i have it on the road.
have just got a thin walled 18mm spark plug socket so have finally been able to remove the spark plug (not sure why yamaha have made it soo hard to access) which while removing i realised it wasnt tightened up fully, which i assumed was a contributing factor to the starting problems.
the plug was very coked up and was replaced.
the carb has been stripped/cleaned and rebuilt.
the valve clearances have been set (when first checked there was no freeplay in any rockers at TDC)
and the decompression cable has been adjusted correctly.
the only other thing i can think may be contributing is the battery needs a good charge but my charger has suddenly decided to konk out :/
once its running it runs really well so im at abit of a loss, if anyone has any theorys/experience i would be very gratefull.
cheers,
Higgins.
