The revs seem like they're being limited by something - does the distributer advance at thoser revs? I've got electronic ignition, and it does the same thinkg with both gas and petrol. Any ideas would be very much appreciated.

Listen carefully to the exhaust - is it misfiring or still smooth? Check the carby & see if it's still supplying sufficient fuel. Check the accelerator cable adjustme

In drive it won't rev past the stall speed, about 1500-1700 rpm. Take the aircleaner off and see how it goes then, sounds like a fuel/air shortage, and as it does it on both gas and petrol air is the most comm

Have a mate stick his foot and the accelerator pedal while you take a look down the carby barrel with a torch and see if the throttle butt

Just shine the light onto a dark surface (inner guard) and see if it is strobing constantly, if the eng f

Drove it (very hard when I couldn't get over 40km/h) back to the carby specialist... they couldn't figure it out, and were about to pull the carby back down again when the

Ran fine until now. I'll check it out by replacing a lead and see how that goes.

Take the dissy cap off and see if the rotor arm moves against the weight springs and returns again with out any slack. some times the weights get stuck an

Stall speed is affected by the construction of the torque convertor from factory it is set about 1500-1700 but they can be modified to any speed, to allow for hot cams that need a high st

I also have a vague recollection of fuel pick ups in the tank causing problems too. Mick, you're the spanner man, how's my memory?
