Hey all,
It's a four stroke.....and I swear it's getting moodier. Sometimes it gives me good power right up to 55-60 kph on level ground, and sometimes it take forever to hit 45 on the same stretch......
Another symptom that has become more apparent is at startup.....when I get it going and open up the throttle......nothing. The engine kind of putts along, just ignoring the fact that I've opened the throttle wide.....and within 5-15 seconds, voooom, I'm going just like normal.
I'm definitely starting to suspect electrical as opposed to mechanical, but I'm but a humble amateur. Maybe this new symptom will ring a bell with someone.....I'm planning on ordering a new coil off Ebay this week, I figure 25 bucks isn't such a bad investment at potentially solving the problem.
