Hi Paul
 Love to go but regretably I have to work. That and I can't get the 500 to go. It's huffing I think because I'm paying to much attention to an Alfa GTV6 I'm painting for a Club member.
 Last outing was to Waringstown were it ran all night on one cylinder  :oops:
 Haven't had a chance to get to the bottom of it apart from it's getting fuel and a spark but won't kick. No doubt as soon as the GTV goes it'll start  :lol:

Is it sparking on the cylinder it wont run on?AT worst it could be a sticky or burnt out exhaust valve. :cry:

Donno. I'm hoping to get a look at it during the week. It's sparking fine but I haven't got checking it at the plugs yet. It's bound to be something silly.  :roll:
