Right gents, picture the scene;

You are knelt beside your NSR, you have your fairing off so you can get at the motor and stuff easily and one of your sparkplugs (the lower one for example) is unscrewed but still plugged into the cap. You touch the electrode onto the cylinder head and turn the engine over using the kick starter. Its plenty dark enough to see a spark if one is there, question is, do you see a spark? I know i don't... Just wondered if you're not actually supposed to get a spark in that situation, because it only works if it is fully screwed in or something daft like that?

Sounds like a right dumbass, noob question when i read back through it coz i've always seen a spark when i've done it on my other bikes but i'm getting desperate, so i'm gonna ask you guys anyway!!

Thanks for your help in advance
