Derricks on the brink of death. Missfiring, cuts out if idling normally. He got me home though, thank god he has a choke! Could be something simple, could not. i wont know till tomorrow. Anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing it, let me know. I'll strip the engine down a lil tomorrow and see, experiment, but we'll see. :(

Still, excuse to get my arse in gear to do the engine swap!

Carb. Airleak if fueling (the choke) improves it.
Though I am a technical spastic, I would say carb base.

But like I say, I know nowt.
