Have you been using fuel that has ethanol added, we work in the automotive industry in Australia, a lot of Dealership mechanics are complaning about E-fuel dissolving parts of the fuel line allowing pieces big enough to cause performance problems and very expensive repair bills.

Nope.. thought I probl ought to, just another one of those things on the list.

Hello,
I just noticed that no one mentioned the choke solenoid is activated by pushing in the key when starting.
