It may sound daft but when was it last serviced ?????

It may just be a case of time for some new plugs and filters (dont forget the fuel filter)

And have you switched fuel-supplier recently?

**Leviathan** · 18th June 2008, 16:39

I read in the user manual that you shouldnt depress the clutch when starting as it drains power for some reason and could cause it not to start???????? Probably zero help that was it....nevermind.
