hi,

Me three, I had exactly the same issues as mentioned above, idled rough for the first 10 seconds or so ,then ran fine, even if I started it up straight away the issue would not be there
So I decided to pull the fist solenoid off (the one right near the stepper motor) and unscrewed the brass fitting (don't know what its called) and all the parts , then notice the solenoid appeared to have corrosion through the centre of it , so I changed it with a spare one
Everything works fine know ,so not sure if it was the solenoid or the cleaning of the brass parts or a combination of both

cheers
john
