Hi All...... New midlands owner :)

Hi All, hope all is good  

Just joined up after a new perchase    




Will up load new pic's soon, just fitted the front lip spoiler and have just done a service on her…… plugs-leads-dizzy cap and arm and a well needed oil change.

Anyway, have one problem with the starting…. Have changed the above items (plugs-leads-dizzy cap and arm and oil) Just put a new battery on 2.
When starting, seems to turn over a fair few times, with no joy… then after pumping the throttle few times and few more turns of the key she starts up. Also she's running at around 500-600 rpm, bit up and down when running….. When running tho, she runs well with no problems.

hope someone can help with this???

Kind regards Andrew
