    Cutting Out

    Cutting Out

    Hi All Been using my 110 V8 a lot over the past couple of weeks and it has developed a nasty habit of just cutting out for a split second. It will completely cut out and then bump start itself and carry on. I know one of the carbs is a bit dodgy as I have to have it running quite rich...
