Thanks Phil.
The problem seems to have become progressively worse. 2 cranks to start in October, 3 in November, 4-5 in December and no luck this year. Same deal when I had it "tuned" in July, when that Motec guy alluded to a lack of current/spark and suggested I go elsewhere. The guys at Elsewhere poo-pooed this idea (rivals are always enthusiastically canned in the auto trade!) though things are much the same with regard to the starting.
