I will nag at my mate to see if he can get any updated info, if he can I will post it here. All the best, John

The engine slowing gradually to a stop could be fuel starvation or incorrect mixture. A suddent stop could be due to a mechanical problem such a too little clearance between the piston and cylinder bore. HTH Anthony
