What - you mean slow, smoky and gets in the way of everyone else?

Only joking... could it be something sticky somewhere, that's wrong one day, right the next?

You'll have to find what it is, otherwise it'll prey on your mind the next time you go to Norwich...

i've had problems finding a 9mm allen Key so i can do a colortune.

i'm prity sure that it is a mixture problem, i took the plug out and it was wet and black, smelling of petrol, i turned the idle screw a turn and it ran better. it realy does need a good tune up.

many of the smaller tasks have been rectified now so i'm on my way to a retest.
