Could it be that their is a compression leak (say for example between the SU's 
and the manifold..
Upon removing and inspecting (the gaskets), there was some 'muck' on it which I 
cleaned and 
refitted (was this wise ? or should I have replaced the gaskets ? I suspect the 
latter would be
true !) Any thoughts or net wisdom on this ?
