Went and fired up my Combo today after a few months stood untouched and she fired up with a puff of smoke but died and when i started her again it wouldn't rev fully and stalled again. Any ideas?

Thanks

Compression seemed strange and little air bubbles were around the head gasket (could be moisture on the head though) could also be head gasket failure also, but its strange as she run well last time she was started up.

Ok thanks i will try that. I know bubbles arent meant to be around the headgasket, but theres been a leak from the rocker cover which has run down the head to the headgasket area and once engine is warm the oil/moisture bubbles as its hot.
