PaulStarletSR Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 not 100% sure mate but i think it might have somethin to do with the fact im missin a nut from the inlet. il sort it 2moz and also clean up the idle control valve. that should do it. might need some fresh fuel in it as its been lyin in the tank for 2years lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
