Well thanks for all that Donk, interesting stuff.

Well the temp gauge registers fine (90 deg C) and on one or two days
last week she was almost behaving tickover at 820 RPM all the time,
other days up to the olde tricks. Seems a bit temperature related it
seems on the day when all was almost well it was around 12.5 deg outside
so its a good pointer as any. Might take her out later when its colder
as deffo the other day when it was hot she was at it again.

Still overall its a bit better so going in the right direction

cheers all...
