    Just a funny one.
    I replaced the fuel hose on my second bike as it pee'd all over my leg when I started it a month or so ago.
    Too easy...

    Decided to give it a tune yesterday hmmm, running on 3 cylinders!
    Check the spark, all good..
    Check fuel by opening the drain screw, all good.
    Check the plug, dry as a bone.

    Bugger...
    Okay let's pull the carbs it's gotta be blocked!

    Lift the tank... Oops vacuum hose was disconnected.
    Haha that was a relief and I'll pay more attention next time I mess with the fuel hose I'm thinking.

    Thought I'd share.
