Sounds like the cut out switch on the kick stand. The bike shouldn't start if you have the kick stand down. Check the kick stand is fully retracted and that the switch is disengaging OK. Maybe the stand is slightly loose & its making contact even when retracted. Otherwise check the kill switch. Both parts are available cheaply on ebay & easy to replace.
sounds like water in fuel,check fuel for water,or just drain and put fresh fuel in,drain float bowl for any water that may have entered carb, check air box/filter for water,also pull spark plug if wet and fire it may be more moisture than fuel,if there is a fuel pump check that also,may sound like alot to do,but at least you will no there is no water in fuel,had same problem myself.(water is heavyer than fuel).
The bike could be fitted with a side stand cut off switch. this is to stop the rider driving off with the side stand down. also if the bike is in gear the bike should not start, this is linked to the clutch/gears. AGAIN IT STOPS THE RIDER FIRING UP THE BIKE AND THE NEXT thing he is aware of is his bike either taking off with out him or hitting a wall or car etc. hope this helps og
Make sure your fuel tank vent is not plugged. To see if this is the problem, the next time the bike starts acting up, stop and open the fuel tank. If you hear a whoosh of air being sucked in you know your vent is plugged.
The C8HA is still available, it is NGK stock number 2168. Good luck.
