Wow look at that centre carbon on the dizzy cap. You're lucky that it has electronic ignition otherwise it never would have started.

When I serviced mine it looked very similar but you can clean it up with careful use of a knife and plenty of solvent (I used acetone, old habit from my days as a chemist, but it works a treat - just don't tell the missus you've nicked her nail polish remover :blackeye: )

i suspect it may run a little better on replacement, nice carbon build up
