Default ERST Misfire

Got a strange misfire on my S2. Sometimes when its warm and you try start it it'll run on like 2 cylinders and needs full throttle just to keep it ticking over. Leave it for abit and it'll start but has a bad misfire when its running. and wants to cut out on idle. Really strong smell of petrol when its doing it aswell. Put a new lead from the coil to the dizzy and it ran better for about a day but its got really bad now.

Cheers, Scott
