Driving the other day and the XE gave a slight hiccup. Then it was fine. Turned off, went in work, came out.
Started up, in reverse, dabbed throttle and it cut out.
It's now missing quite a bit and the revs refuse to rise, they go down instead.
Anyone had this problem??
Thanks

given the overheating issue you had recently, just check the fluid levels & also plug conditions.
check the dizzy & rotor arm too...

Dizzy and rotor arm are on a list. Also plugs and leads.
I was thinking maybe the coil is fucked?

coil is worth changing as they are a bit crap if they are old, new one is only £25

This one looks a bit battered TBH. Thats another on the list.
What else can I change while I'm at it Dave? What else could be giving me the problem?
