Carb Icing.

Felt like it wanted to cut out or a spark plug had gone bad? Fairly nippy out but not freezing and a bit dampish? Bike felt OK with throttle wide open?

Slkoline Pro FST or other such stuff.

Yep - that pretty much describes it. I know I have suffered carb-icing before, but never back-fires.

What is Silkolene Pro FST ? An octane booster ?

I always use super-unleaded anyway (Shell Optimax)

Thanks to all for your advice.

Cheers
Dave.
