Took it in for the MOT friday, emissions were too high so the tester went to ajust the mixture as soon as he started to turn the allen key it stopped running and now wont start!!
There is a really strong smell of fuel though and plugs came out really black!!
Any ideas?

When the key is inserted with the engine running, it should be placed carefuly and just turned and removed. If any pushing takes place, it will momentarily massively overfuel and die out.

If is too rich try it turn anticlockwise little, but if is too lean, try crank engine with flap pushed down (flap is under airbox).
rich or lean-depends in which way you turned it on MOT.

"tester went to ajust the mixture"
there is your problem pal, tell him to leave it the fuck alone next time!!!!!
next time if you have probs with your co2 then pull the dip stick slightly to get the reading lower or any little air leak for that matter
