Found a 172 for sale through a mate, when you start it up it sounds like it's down a cylinder, when you rev it up it seems to clear, then it will idle for a little while & die. After it died there was still an odd noise coming from the inlet manifold or t/b area. Are there known faults in this area. The poor running may be down to fuel as it did seem very low. Just wondered if it was worth a punt for £700 with no MOT ?? It's an 03 plate.
