It's been ages and still having problems with my '89 1.0 OHV.
I had the plugs supposedly cleaned about a month ago and it seemed to briefly fix this and it ran like a dream. Now however it has developed the most horrendous misfire - running on 3 cylinders virtually, sounds like a loud lawnmower, vibrates like hell, still cutting out at idle, and the acceleration has taken a hit.
I have not seen blue smoke so I ruled out a blown piston ring. I replaced the HT leads as they were knackered but there's no change. The fanbelt also squeaks so it could be the alternator?
It had a major service in October 2010 - new plugs, CB points, dizzy cap, HT leads (since replaced), rotor arm, coil and rocker cover gasket.
I'm a bit choke-happy so wonder if the plugs have fouled again? Help!
