Moderator Airhead Posted October 8, 2012 Moderator Posted October 8, 2012 As daft as it sounds try another plug, my old DTR completely refused to start once, nay it didnt even try to start. Fitted a new plug and away she went, put the old plug back and away she continued to go!!! some things you just cant explain
