clean the white oxide off the 4 points inside the dizzy cap to give a better spark during cold starts

its nt cold start thats the problem ;/ its after its been started it struggles :/ leave it over night and it fires up first time :/

I had a problem years ago with the same symptoms, turned out to be a dodgy spark plug.

It had a hairline crack in the porcelain, when the engine got up to temp the crack would open up enough for the spark to short out. The problem would be present until the plug cooled down to atmospheric temps

brand new super 4s in there :/
