Stutter when I'm above half throttle
30 Mar 2013 20:19
Started doing this after a long ride today. Carbs are freshly rebuilt. Valves are within clearance. Plenty of fuel. Both the lines are feeding the carbs well. It did this a while back and the screw that holds the condensers was loose so with high revs it was shorting out. I just checked the screw again on the points plate and it was fine. All the screws that hold the points are tight. Timing maybe? I just had a dwell meter then the inductive light in her. Maybe check that again? It rode very strong yesterday. Then on the way home I went to pass a car and it stuttered so I let off and put the tank on reserve and it didn't help. Any ideas?

Not having a full 12 volts to the coils will also act like that.

Try turning the headlight off when it starts to stumble. If it improves, it's time for a battery.

30 Mar 2013 21:38I just did the coil mod so I have the same voltage at the coils as the battery. I'll check it guys.baldy110 wrote: Not having a full 12 volts to the coils will also act like that.

Has anybody had problems with the relay(coil mod) vibrating and causing the bike to cut out? Just a thought.
