Hello Joe,

Thanks for the input. Yes, I am afraid that it may be ignition related. I have not actually checked for spark after stalling (only because that would need an extra pair of hands which are not around when that happens :-)) but the engine does start up right away after stalling and run O.K. for a minute or so before stalling again so I'm checking fuel first. If it is an ignition problem then it will be a while before I can fix it as I will have to order parts from you guys.

Spares are available here but the prices are astronomically high. As an example, this site lists a non genuine primer cap for Aus$ 11.66 whereas the locally available one is the equivalent to AUS$ 40.00.

A note to Bruce, I assume the prices listed are in Aussie$ and not US$ - is that correct. (Should not make too much difference though as they are trading 1:1 here at the moment)

Thanks guys, I'll keep you posted.
Jerry
