Location: chestefield		we have similar probs with our 1.1 first thing check dizzy cap sometimes the center electrode either wears away of falls to bits it will still start and run but wont run well or start easily if it still wont start put your foot to the floor and keep turning it over this usually gets ours started!

Location: Wiltshire		I'd check to see if you have a healthy spark at the plugs, it sounds like you have fuel coming through. Don't bother flooring the throttle, as you will only flood the engine making starting harder.
