Mark, It runs just as though both mags are still on and only stops if I
switch fuel or pumps off. Mainly seems to happen when engine thoroughly hot.
Plugs at 25 & 50 hr check nice pinky suede colour. First happened at about
10 hrs which seems a bit early for sig Carbon build up. Engine does start
without choke in warm weather. David.
