time and money are a bit short lately so I'm less than enthusiastic to go over the the dealer.

Any thought will be welcomed.

Mine did that after my trip to France, I just put it down to the idle screw undoing it self abit due to vibration and just wound it in again

ALSO dirty air filter, I have just checked mine it looked clean on the outside/inside but it was fairlly dirty when I took it out and cleaned it lots fine brown dust washed out (DNA Filter)
