Its not steam. Its fuel vapour, because its not firing on that cylinder.

Fit them champion plugs as we discussed eariler.

[tuktuk]

took a few ideas from the forum using searchy buttons. tightened up spade connections to coil, checked for air leaks and changed the plugs from ngk to champion ones... seems fine !

its gonna be one of those on and off problems i think
