Time for a Sunday spin while the weather is so lovely. Started on the button, but spluttered and died after 50 yards. Would not restart. Rolled back to the garage, checked for sparks (earth to engine) all very bright both sides.
Reflecting on previous similar issues, located two new plugs from spares box and put these in (same type, BP6ES).
Instant start, followed by faultless 25 mile run.
Also noted that chokes not needed after less than a mile. Unlike previous plugs, engine only ran off choke once really warmed up.
