Took my chim out for a quick run this afternoon after its been sat still for 3 months, (trickle charger on btw). Went fine for a mile then stuttered and cutout. Did this a few times in a quick 3 mile route???

Ideas??

Was the fuel fresh when it began its 3-month lay-up?

If it was already a bit old, then it could be stale.

Pretty much yes........I did wonder if it was a blockage or summit. If it is, is there an additive I can use, or just go for a blast?

Personally I don't think they like sitting around. Best to use it every so often to keep everything moving smile it could be a whole host of things. Here's thought 2. Following the fuel one, of the many you will get. Might be worth checking the coil packs. I would take it out again, don't let it sit for another 3 months, at leader so there is a better view when it happens. Had something similar a while back, it would cut out then backfire etc. New coil pack = happy days smile

Maybe there is air around the engine temp.sensor. It is still the highest point in the coolingsystem.
Then the engine is running very rich and is stuttering and cuts out. To much fuel.
Do you already installed a new radiator?
