Thanks, yes, in fact in addition to putting in new plugs, I replaced the battery with a new one when the hard-starting, er, started (is that an oxymoron?!). I too keep it on a battery tender all the time to good effect. I also have a neat little continuous digital display of the voltage that has shown normal values and suggests the voltage regulator is doing its job. Thanks.
