well have checked valves and yes they were a bit tight . but still nothing . i have found now that resistance on the pulse coil/ pick up coil is lower then speck but not by much (spec is 113-139 , mine is 110) would this make a difference as was running ok b 4 . did have a slight miss fire on tick over though

andy you need to check your valve clearances mate,it sounds like it may have a tight exhaust valve to me iif all the other stuff is how you say it is.
