I'm glad a common reply is Idle Control Valve or ISV - if it's anything like a (*coughs) vauxhall item it's not the bit you can see that needs cleaning it's the bit you can't see - they work like a stepper motor but all the comutator, brushes and windings are exposed to the same rubbish and then they don't step cleanly or respond quickly

yea, you said the smell of fuel was cos it was running rich when it was cold with the choke.
If thats what ur ramblings meant?
If not then explain as i'm lost now.

Ah you missed the point then. The mention of choke was just an asside, in agreement with what logic was saying.
My "ramblings" as you call them, were my feeble attempt at trying to set people straight, If you want to be like that I wont bother anymore.
