Left her out in the yard overnight and tried again this morning, fired up first time. Left her for awhile and tried again. Started ok.
Ian said these engines need to be given a good hard run as often as possible, after all it’s not even run in properly yet. 57k on the clock.

No charge as they said that I have spent a few bob with them and they know that I look after my cars.
So a good run tomorrow it is down to the Trevaskis Farm breakfast meet.

Many thanks for the advice and tips, although no idea why the bulge in the tyre is connected...........................

Good news Bob, could a bulge in the tyre be blocking the fuel line.
