Thanks again for all the advice!
If the wobble doesn't get worse with braking it's not down to the rotors, something else is out of ballance.

It has to be something that's rotating and is after the gear box output so I would say Bob's earlier suggestion of wheels is first on the list to get checked.
It could be an out of balance drive shaft that has taken a knock too.

When you get the wheel balance checked I'd ask them to check the wheel bearings and alingment too. I'm sure the one trip to the shop should locate the problem.

I've had no problems with the std plugs & leads, but many have, If you plan to do any mods to the performance of your PT then good quality plugs and ugraded leads would be needed anyway so I'd try some to help your starting issue.

If you take your plugs out, take a photo and check the gap, that may tell the folks here if your issue is related to fuel or spark.
