Quick update: I was having a look over the engine bay this weekend and noticed one of the HT leads was loose on its spark plug.

I’ve had my T25 for a while now and shes always had trouble starting when ive not used her for a couple of days. It takes about 30 seconds of turning over the engine the she starts!
