I think we're getting somewhere.
New plugs fitted yesterday.
This morning, outside temperature 13C, it started and ran normally with only the usual puff of smoke as it fired. In same conditions yesterday it coughed and stuttered for several seconds with a large cloud of grey smoke and characteristic smell of incompletely burned diesel.
First thought on collection yesterday was that there was still a problem as although it picked up cleanly it hiccuped twice.
Emerging conclusion is that there were two problems (a) plugs and (b) a bit of air getting into fuel with (b) possibly still extant. I'll monitor for on occasions when I have an assistant to start it while I watch the stuff in the translucent lines and play about with hand primer pump - which does not lock solid as instructions suggest it should.
Thanks for all the tips.
