mr Boneman, Thanks very much for reply! I bought a new spark-plug last week just to keep under the seat for a spare, so i popped the old one out and put the new one in and bish bash bosh! now running better than ever!! simple as that! big relief its not the electrics and having to muck around with anything else like that!
Markies is still on the Go
