Another thought on the matter of the warm up regulator...  Mine seem to
have a temporary fix if you undo the two fuel lines to it, then spray loads
of Carberettor cleaner into the holes.  The top has a mesh filter, which
seems to clean easier, with the bottom, make sure you direct it through the
small hole into the regulator.  I try to leave as much lying is there as
possible and then refit the fuel lines.  It will hessitate on start up
because of the air bubbles and carb cleaner in the system, but If your
problem is a warm up valve, I think it will start alot easier.  BTW: this
fix only lasts between a couple of days to a week, but should help
dertermine the fault.

Wondering whether this would help clogged injectors too.  Maybe worth a
try.  I know injector 4 on mine was totally clogged, and when I removed it,
I found grit at the union.  Might be worth a look there too.

Good luck,


Mike.
