    does it do it all the time, or just when the engines cold ?

    its probably just all the damp and cold we are experiencing lately...

    if your suspicious of the choke assembly, you could whip it out and give the plunger a squirt
    of wd40, or better still see if theres a manual choke kit for it, far better imho :good:

    would be worthwhile sticking a new spark plug in if it hasnt been changed for a while ;)

    it could be carb icing if its cold or some crap in the jet. My lad had a similar thing on his manual choke ...that turned out to be a broken strand in the cable inner
