Sounds good - I'll try that - thank you. The odd thing is, it never did 
this last year when I was running it. When I started it for the first 
time a few days ago, it was clattering & misfiring so bad I thought at 
first it had dropped a valve seat! Never a good idea to leave vehicles 
standing too long, is it ;)
