Check the timing and points gap. If they're okay it might be your points capacitor going bad. Replace it. If you still have problems it might be because you're running ethanol gas... which runs much leaner than non-ethanol gas. You may have to either get non-ethanol gas or drill your main jet out a few sizes larger. Mutt probably has a simpler solution. I'm just sayin' what I've run into. Also it could be your crankshaft seals are starting to go and you're sucking too much air into the mix in your crankcases. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- It does. First and second gears are pretty much useless. Once I get to third I have a little more range, but once the rpm gets back up it sputters again. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- does it do the same thing if you go the same rpm in each of the 3 gears? ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- I restored a 1960 Super 10 a couple years ago and have ridden it quite a few times. I noticed that once I get up to speed (about45 mph) the engine starts to sputter. I've thought it was a carburation issue and have adjusted and readjusted numerous times with no change. I got to thinking about it and thought maybe the timing is off. Anyone have experience with an issue like this? Do I need to advance or retard the timing to dial this in? Do you think timing is the issue? |
