Kostya and I took it out for a spin last night, same problem! :furious:
Sputtering like crazy after about 3-3500 RPM's.
So on a hunch I swapped out the coil for a spare I had and wha-la, it pulled all the way through the rev range like a beast! :D
And to think, I had a spare coil with me at the Classic, I could have been terrorizing F'burg the whole time, instead of limping her around :lol: It sure felt like a clogged carb circuit though, and the spark looked nice and blue. Strange...
Anyway, now I can mess with my data logging system some more and then get back to jetting... 8-)

Glad to hear that it was an easy fix Brian. It is too bad that you had to suffer through The Classic for something that you had a spare part on hand for.
