Started last night, but went to start this morning and it's playin silly beggers.... It caught then stopped straight away, now it sounds tired starting (not battery AFAIK coz this is new) it will just about catch if ya give it some juice but it just sounds like a sack full of hammers then stops....

Any ideas much apprieciated... thanx :D

Not to cause a scare, but this is the sort of thing mine did just before it had an HGF... there weren't any signs of it at this point except bad starting...

Alternatively, it could be plugs, dizzy, ht leads among other things...
Seems a bit sudden tho... working perfectly to completly ****ed overnight.???

I thought it might have just been something got damp with the weather and it bein stood there for a while??

I checked the oil and water etc... and that all looks spot on

Went out took the dizzy cap off cleaned that out cleaned the airfilter and checked all plugs leads were tight ... put it all back together and hey presto it's (as murry walker wud say) go go go... :D

Prob just the damp from not bein used for a week and bein left caked in snow and then lots of heavy showers...

Cheers
