Heading up to GW's and Artdeans to get quotes on the ignition switch and get the tap replaced this week.

Thanks for all your help guys and gals [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Be sure it's the fuel tap mate. Again, our GS500's would restart on 'prime' basically cos loads of fuel is going in, and by the time we'd switched over to 'prime' the carbs had defrosted.

We actually had a breakdown the other day on the A4 Batheaston bypass. Heading towards Bristol last thursday, got to the bottom of the long hill out of Bath, and it was raining. As we climbed the hill, rain started to turn to sleet and one of the GS's started to misfire. By the time we got to the top of the hill it was snowing heavily, at which point the GS conked out. Phone call to Phoenix to come and recover. Test cancelled. Pick bike up from Phoenix with Pro FST in the tank, not had a problem since. Carb icing again. :
