Took the air filter off and found oil in the carbie so looks like im running a rich mix.
Disconnect the fuel line and found a fine filter and there is no gunk in it.

Water in fuel usually comes from 2 sources // From new petrol being added at service station or from condensation inside your fuel tank, both of which are very hard to eliminate, hence water filter incorporated in fuel filter.

If the problem is more serious then that of course ill get a mechanic to look at it.

OK, smile0784, did you identify the problem and had it fixed or fixed it yourself.
Many readers of these posts would be interested in the cause and fix as others may experience the same.
