Hi,
Im quite new to this, i had a quick search around the forums but i didnt really find anything solid on the issue.

Heres the problem, sometimes the engine will just cut out from idle and refuse to start unless i use more throttle. it just isnt holding idle revs at all.

If anyone could help or point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
