The K&N air filter was cleaned not so long ago, and if you speak to my work receptionist she'll definitely confirm it's getting petrol by the way it has backfired in the past letting out a flame like a jet planes afterburner and a noise like an elephant gun.
The battery is good, that consistently supplies power when it's trying to start, without any signs of pegging out, it's just that the engine doesn't want to catch.
Quite a few times it's started for about a second or two, then just cut out, then it takes about another 2 minutes of trying to start it, with and without the choke before it will eventually catch and run as if there was never a problem.
But thinking back it's always misbehaved in hot summer or in cold winter evenings after work, which is what led me down the blocked air vent path.

More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
