Not being funny but the cylinders are the things with the spark plugs poking out.You only need access to the cylinder heads

Are you really sure you want to do this yourself?

Whereabouts are you? Someone may be able to help....

Have you connected the vacuum hose to the fuel tap correctly ( back & sidways rather than down)?

Lift the tank back up > Dangly black snakes hanging underneath fuel tanks - two are fuel (hopefully both connected back on the fuel tap and secured with clips) - two others not on the fuel tap but beside it directly in the tank are breather and drain hoses. Leaving one other vital snake fing that allows fuel to flow when engine is running. It should be connected at the back (sidweays) of the fuel tap rather than connected pointing straight down.

Back all the way to the stage you were at when you tightened the front head cover down. No bits left over like the rubber seals/ mounting washers? and is the rubber cam gasket nice and secure?
