Odd symptoms - no idle and mostly no start

Hi All

I was out on my GN250 on Friday when it suddenly had symptoms like fuel starvation, the motor faded and after a few seconds died. It started with a lot of turning the motor over and would run at anything over tickover but would die if the revs dropped too low so I kept the throttle high. If it died it would take a bit of getting going again.

When I got home I had a look at it and when trying to start it the motor would turn over and sound like an old stationery motor trying to get going. The irregular firing would get faster until it started and then it would run until the revs were allowed to drop when it would cut out again.

I checked and charged the battery which is a bit old, but also used the new battery off my Inazuma to test it, cleaned the carb, changed the plug for a new one and checked all the wiring connections. Still no change and now it doesn't seem to start at all.

The plug is getting wet and is sparking well but the motor just won't run. I'm guessing that the chugging as it turns over is the best clue but I don't know what it is telling me.

Any help gratefully accepted gents.
