Then things like fuel filter and ignition coils can be looked at but I threw lots of money at my crappy BA from trying to fix problems so defiantly take it to an expert.

Sparkplugs yea, fuel filter yea, that's good maintenance stuff anyway. If after that you still have issues you need to figure it out properly not shotgun stuff.

But as far as uve said he helped out then it needs to be looked at again, I know bruce will be happy to have u up again no dramas so just book it in and if u have to pay for a few hrs so it can be diagnosed correctly If there is something stopping u going back send me a pm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure as hell caused a lot of whacky stuff to go wrong in mine until it was fixed (in quite a dodgy way lol).
