Hi Stork,it litterally only needs choke when cold but then only for a split second as it dies otherwise,she ticks over perfect though as soon as the choke is off.I did try useing the choke when she was hot and starting to die but that made it worse and the engine stopped,as this is a new fault(one of bloody many,this will teach me to buy something on the cheap) I still think it is electrical but then i would not be asking advise if I had much of a clue so all advise will be welcome.Thanks.coop
