Hi Racing Green

Yes pulls like a train above 3000 with no misfiring

Choke can be put in after 30sec from cold although dosn't (or didn't before this problem) idle without some choke until warm.

It's difficult to set the idle now when hot as it stops!!

I've ordered a Haynes manual, so when it arrives I can check the carbs for deposits etc.

Looking at the bikes history although the services are up to date , last one at 16k, that was three years ago so the previous owner did less than 1000 miles in 3 years. Thiis is verified by the last 3 test certs so things may have gunged up. But it seems odd that is ran perfectlly for the first 300 mile.

Are there any common problems with the ignition unit on Sprints of this age?.
