sounds like rpm limit sometimes LOL .at one stage after sitting inline waiting for a run it would just cough and splutter and die found coil to be rooted cable tied it onto cooler pipe and it did a full pass so replaced that with a fuelmiser gt40 non resisted coil that is chinese and it keeps going now but breaks up and i closed gaps right down and it doesnt missfire but there isnt any power past 4200ish and tuning seems o keep changing wildly add fuel it runs ok pull over make a change and it all goes out of wack and temp starts rising after half an hour of running like its retarding itself when it gets hot.thinking ignition module or dizzy pickup has heat issue .rpm trace is clean looking on logs which sort of makes me more think module related ive tried 2 now all used maybe bite the bullet and get a new one
If Its Got Gas Or Ass Count Me In.if it cant be fixed with a hammer you have an electrical problem

I've noticed you've been quite lately also VL400 too. Hope everything's ok.

it just so happens I have a mate who owns an engine reconditioning business, he's been working this week to try and catch up, roller door down to stop the wankers coming in, means we can go at it in peace!

hopefully can get down there Wednesday to do some more, almost to a point where we need some bearings though which are still on order!
