Plug not getting fuel

Time for a valve adjustment. You have done the right thing by replacing the spark plug and cleaning the carb. Check your valve cleareance and make sure is up to specs.

Bike sat up for 3 or 4 years. recently cleaned the carb, changed the plug and oil and bike started. Tried starting it recently and it wont. Seem to be backfiring sometimes when kicking it over.

clean plug .. although new plug if old fuel or unbalanced carb it may quickly foul. if this works you may need help to work out whats causing plug to foul.

On a yamaha 426 wht happens if to much oil in the bike blow out a seal

Drain some out ... when it is over full, the crank shaft whips it full of air and as such, it is not able to lubricate the engine NOR the transmission. Best bet is to drain it all and refill to proper level.

I had my head ported out and now it leaks oil out where my exhaust mounts to the head is it safe to run my bike like that

It is not normal, The oil is coming from the engine lubrication system and it sounds as if you have not renewed the rocker cover gasket when the engine was rebuilt. Check the torque settings on the head bolts and that no oil is getting into the coolant.

ID NUMBER

there should be an engine number and frame number on your bike which will identify your bike. the engine no is usualy stamped on the bottom engine casing (usualy left hand side). the frame no. should be on the frame just behind the forks. the numbers should both be present and should be the same, not sure how to use this number but take this to your local bike mechanic and he should be able to help you. i had to do this when my mate bought a ty175, wich turned out to be a 1980 dt175!!

Av jus bought a yzf 426 the guy shown me how to

The setting of the ignition is too ADVANCED and so there is PREIGNITION. Perhaps this is done to have the engine respond well into higer RPM and so if there was backfiring only when the start was missed , I would suggest that you try out to start and if not you must get the bike tuned once again for fuel settings and ignition setttings including timing.
