It will tick over but pulling away it is dead sluggish until your foot is buried?
thats about right and loads of smoke at the point of acceleration and that gets less if you hold a steady speed seems worse in the bigger gears 2/3/4
I will ring you later to explain where the intercooler pipe is located

good shout Jay definite imptovement loads less smoke too soon to say if the bit I saw is residual I will put some more injector cleaner and give it a run and change the fuel filter this week to see if that helps too ... bit by bit I am getting nthere but definite definite improvement / cure of the personal smoke cloud
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock
