enlightened us thusly:

Any suggestions would be appreciated, along with where to look for the parts
that might be faulty/blocked. I've only had the motor a week and a bit so
the geography under the bonnet is alien to me

I need help!

don't know anything more specific about 'em, I'm afraid.

Faulty emulator perhaps if you have them fitted. Most systems use these
to switch off the petrol injectors when running on gas. When engine is
misfiring disconnect one plug lead at a time to see if one makes no
difference.

This is a possibility, if it's not turning the injectors back on. Mind, it
sounds as though it's starting cold on petrol OK.

Raymond: try switching it to the "petrol" position, start from cold, and see
how it runs, also see if it gradually gets worse as it warms up.

if it runs badly from cold, then Hugh's suggestion may be more likely than
mine, if it starts OK and deteriorates, then I'd still favour it not
stopping the cold-start enrichment.

meanwhile, if it's running OK on gas you shouldn't hurt it by starting from
cold on gas, 'til you get the petrol side sorted. Starting on petrol is
mainly considered good 'cos it makes sure the petrol system is working. It
should start from cold on gas, provided you set it to do so.
