No air leaks that i can see - i`ve sprayed wd40 all round the manifolds and no change in engine speed at all.i`m using a totally stock air filter so no carb icing either - i`ve got the whole weekend to tinker with it and see if i can fix - i really hope it turns out to be something simple.</blockquote>
