    I had a look at that one Frosty. Didn't want to take the punt on the idle issue. But I'm sure you have the skills to sort it! I'd be interested to hear how you get on.
    Cheers

    Yep, that is what the BFTP crew were guessing could be the problem. Hope the diaphram is not too expensive. I know the ones for the Suzuki GS CV's are $140 each

    Nothing against me--cept 100 odd kg of quad.
    Pure accident -Imm piddling up a slope and just as the quads at its tipping point easing over a lip he decides to squeeeze the throttle.
