well i can try to but you actually havent said the problem in details really, so can only guess

sorry basicly it will start first time for say 3 days then after than nufin it just turns over with no engine start it got a stage 1 exhaust and airfilter but standard head. that time it woundnt start i chanhed the spark plugs and it started fine no probs but now a week on its doing the same thing

[cherryblossom]

when you took the spark plugs out, what colour were they? like a really dark brown/ black colour? if so its usually over fueling and so you need to change the mixture and that should help with starting it?

Anybody else out there got an idea?

yeh sounds like its probs overfueling and thats why the spark plugs are black and when you changed them to new the car started.

urmm i cant do anything tonight but i can see if anybody in club is free over the weekend? also do you have an haynes?
