What would the symptoms be if the fuel regulator vacuum pipe which connects the regulator to the throttle next to the TP became disconnected at the regulator ?

you've guessed it, mines been disconnected as the pipe has become enlarged at the joint...

could it cause the misfire/misfuel I suffered last week ?

I hope its as simple as that ...

Excessive fuel pressure under part load resulting in massive over-fuelling, potentially even a rich misfire and fouled plugs.

Hi Graham, I'll not know until I get home for the weekend and even then it will probably be sunday before I get a chance... I'll let you know matewink

I'm very hopeful from what Peter says the symptoms would be... sounded bang on what I saw.

Tim was looking to see if he had a similar problem as he recognised some of the symptoms I was seeing...
