Thanks for the Input Re-Run.

Plugs are wet, but not dripping wet. It's certainly getting fuel and it doesn't seem like excessive. It also fires up with choke nicely and settles to idle.

Man, I know the pods are gonna be bitch but airbox probaby won't fit back after new electronics box under the seat (might not be visible well in the pic). Still, if pods were making things go haywire i'd expect problems in all carbs, not only in carbs 1+4. Also had talk with the owner and he said he had indeed same problems before pods, when original airbox was installed, and it also ran like it ran on my test ride (like crap, that is. doesn't pick up rpm, sluggish etc).

Gonna test cylinder pressure tomorrow with oil. Can valve clearance in this bike be such an issue that it has this kind of symptoms? Sorry for stupid questions, first time with DOHC bike for me so it's a school day almost in every way :) Also, any advice on the wiring issue?
