Just a quickie.. is it unburnt fuel that is a little bit of whispy white misty smoke (like condensation in the morning) that you get when you flood and it ain\'t starting?

much thanks

thanks buddy

Got my mechanic buddy to replace the plugs using the OJ method (i.e. removing nothing) and hey preseto!

Was quite funny, two kids walking down my road and then next second they were COVERED in smoke - they coughed Was getting whisps of smoke coming from engine too but that was just fuel that had blocked it in there.

sounds sweeeeeeeet again too

viva £3 plugs from USA

cheers col!
