I would also check the rubber gasket for the spi unit and the temp sensor

How much oil was there? Mine always has a little bit that needs to be wiped off, i'd always assumed that this was normal.

Starting is now sorted after cleaning up the tb but new problems now.

The idle is erratic on start up, very high and the oil light flashes and beeps randomly when driving then stops  then starts again with no pattern???

what could this be now

cheers
