Hello all, I have a similar problem. I have to turn the ignition on then off after a couple of seconds then on again wait a couple of seconds turn over and it then starts!!!Has done it since i have had it about three months.When i took it to eightinavee he thought it was strange and wasn't sure what it could be.I think my fuel filter is making a bit of a bubbling noise when i turn off after a run so I'm going to change that see if it makes any difference.
