Could even be the point that it settles is worn and giving an open circuit reading.
I'll see if I can find out some more info on it.
Nice one mate,much appreciated. Bunged it back on tonight but still the same. My only concern is that if i knackered it by pulling it apart the first time,but i cant really see why,and this is "another" problem now. If i could just try one without shelling out for one first i`d be reassured if you know what i mean. No one seems to know these engines very well(can understand why lol) around here and i dont want throw money at it to find its not that. Theres a guy on the bay doin a recon service so might give him a bell. Matt
