Tried that. Still the same unfortunately. The plug is a little sooty.

I'll check the inlet manifold gasket and see. Now that you mention this as when I usually cover up the free hole on the breather the engine chokes and stalls. Today when I covered up the hole it kept running as normal. Could this be causing the problem then and how would that effect it?
