Fellas,

I'm having some issues with my M52 cutting out - it tends to happen after she's warm, I'll come to a stop at lights and it will sputter out and die (i.e. feels like it's misfiring). Then, I won't be able to get her started again until I've left it for a minute or two.

Tends to happen every time I go out now - any ideas?

Cheers,
Gus
