starting probs
ok so have new battery, alts charging it and keeping it charged started motor seems fine, but most mornings it stutters to start like turning key for a bit for it to fire up.
could this be spark plug issue as they are due to be changed? or another issue i aint getting?

Even if the earths are screwed down well they still need to make good contact with the metal ie no dirt/corrosion.
