Hi everyone!
I have bought a used and neglected ZR7-S a few years back as my first bike. I put some money into fixing it, and I believed my mechanic knew what he was doing at the time. But as time went on, i have noticed a few problems with my bike and started researching etc. Right now i've a brand new Vulcan S as my primary bike, but I still want to bring back to life my old ZR7-S. So i went to my storage, and my bike was runnning like a pile of ... .
Here are the list of problems:
To add to all this, i am using a stock air box, which i will also clean and try to seal (the airbox smell like petrol and have some sticky resedue on the bottom). I was thinkning of using the carb pods, but since i have a lot of rainy days in my country, i will stick to the airbox.
Also, the video i mentioned, is not mine, but my bike has exactly the same problem as the one in the video! It sounds the same, which i think something's really bad with the engine (Youtube Link).
I hope you guys could help me out here and possibly point to the right direction, so i can join my old bike this season. Thanks!

Here are the list of problems:
- The smell coming from exhaust is very strong and bad (smells like a burnt petrol)
- Once i heat up the engine, revving makes bike to die slowly
- Also, revving feels like one or two cilinders are not working (here's an example, video NOT MINE: Youtube Link)
- Engine knocking
- One spark plug was black, which i cleaned (spark plugs were changed to brand new before this happened)
