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.

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.

does it do the same thing if you go the same rpm in each
of
the 3 gears?

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?
