bike is hard to start and applying throttle kills it .bike will run in tickover but rattles a bit.checked plug and cleaned airfilter .is it likely to be tappets.

its weak,check the accelerator pump that gets pushed in when you open the throttle its on the float bowl,the problem is a lack of fuel when you open the throttle it gets air first and not fuel so it needs more fuel the pump or a blocked jet or even old petrol or a faulty fuel tap can cause this,ok
