What, you smack it till it speeds up?

That be the idle speed advance.... thought this would be for starting from cold?? This used when engine is warm and ticking over, say at traffic lights?

Mind, it is due a service...... could explain a few things.

The idle speed is controlled by a small screw on the front throttle body.
Follow the throttle cable down to the linkage and you'll see the stop screw. It has a hex head 7 or 8mm.
