Are you burning any oil? Any blue smoke from the exhaust?

 

If its sparking and getting fuel but the plug is damp, that says a timing issue to me

Not burning any oil or blue smoke. Took it for a run today, read a few posts that they tend to run rough when idling but fine when driven. Sounded spot on round the lanes, didn't give it the full beans but alot better. Idling still rough. Looked into the engine a bit more and now I understand how the whole idling process works. There's an idle control valve that let's air into the throttle bodies when idling, a split vacuum hose can cause lack of air going into the chamber hence no bang or lack of bang. Will look into it over the holibobs

The butterflys only open when the throttle is depressed. So these vacuum hoses are important for idling. Explains why to start it I have to depress the accelerator pedal slightly.

Once she unwraps the Marigolds and Fairy liquid you've bought her it will be fine, you can go play with your toy and she can play with hers. :thumbs:
