Curious mis-fire after starting (182)



  RS250, 182, 172
Hi all,
Bit of a strange one, my 182 has recently developed what is seemingly a mis-fire or lack of power after starting that lasts about 5-10 secs. This happens whether it's hot or cold, but I turn on the ignition, pull away and it is really rough for 100 yards or so with a noticable lack of power at low revs (i.e. just pulling away gently and stundling down the road) and the exhaust starts farting and popping away.

Then it clears naturally, after around 5-10 secs or indeed if I just accelerate a bit harder. I have recently had a cat-back Scorpion exhaust fitted, other than that it's standard.

Just for info, it idles fine and never happens at any other time, hope someone can help solve the mystery!
