Right!....Ive replaced the coil with a new one, no different :( Ive got some new leads and plugs to put in but just need to collect them first.

Also I noticed if I pull the choke right out, it runs better and doesnt drop down and stall but I can still here popping and a misfire from the exhaust and as soon as I push the choke in, splutter splutter almost dies a few times until it stalls completely.

Ive inspected the dizzy cap and arm and they look pretty much new, theres little to no wear on the contacts at all.

I had a thought that maybe the fuel had got some water in somehow, maybe from the breather as it was hanging low and covered in mud and blocked after, so could have sucked some in whilst we were ploughing through the pond?

Im trying to distinguish whether its ignition related or fuel related! Any more thoughts?
