Awesome. I've yet to see it out and about in the roads of Bristol. Though I'm where I passed it in Bradley Stoke Tesco. Looks awesome I've always lusted for a nice mk2.
Edit: Just noticed you are in Yate! That's down the road from me in Iron Acton lol.

Yesterday I was like , today I'm like 
Really annoying problem. Basically the engine will start and run, but after it's warmed up a bit it'll just cut out. I can then start it again and it'll run for like 10-20secs then die again. It doesn't splutter or cough, it just dies completely.
I can't say I know enough about carbs to start messing with them, I'll give Bogg Bros a call on monday to see if they have any ideas.
So frustrating, when it's actually running it runs really nicely

Bike carbs normally have manual choke - it should be what looks like a bicycle brake cable with a knob on the end - turn one way for choke on, the other for choke off. Anything like that on yours? If so does it help?
Yeah sorry should have made that clear, I have the choke connected up (using a universal cable and knob). The problem seems completely unrelated to the choke is it does it weather the choke is engaged or not.
