jano at oddkiddcreations set mine up.
and you would be right. but he didnt say it started all of a sudden so i was just brainstorming. lets face it could be a load of reasons why its doing it.

its kinda slowly gotten worse....

have recently had new plugs, leads and a alloy breather system, at first after changing all of this, it was running lovely, but now its searching little at idle and just lumpy....

been way too long since it had a set up though....

its still very much the same chris, no chips or boost increases, just the mongoose and now an alloy oil breather set up, as the standard item failed, there's a place local to me i have used before, on my old S1 ERST and they did a great job, so undecided as to who to use.....
