thanks guys, i will take to garge tomorrow to put the computer on it and see if anything comes up, it starts fine everytime warm or cold, the arm and dizzy cap looks new to be honest and it looks like its had new ht leads except 1 ( 3 have been changed but left 1 old ?) and the ht leads that have been replaced are cheap looking( havnt got a make or anything on them) could this be a good reason why its runnig like it is, im guessing it is ?
