I cant remember if they have a cold start on the injector pump as that could do it ?

Think the cold start is completly seperate, i think the injector pump has only start and stop solenoids on it. Im sure some one will correct me if i am talking rubish though!

Cheers

If its stuck i think it will cause the problem you are having, I would start by checking all your connections, vaccum pipes, air filter etc Before pulling anything apart,
Its a very basic engine thats why i went for just about the only half techy part on it lol Laughing

Looks like it was just my air filter encased in sand/silt from coney green! Shocked

Cleaned it all off, seems ok now!

Cheers
