got a wierd one here, went out today and the engine would not rev past 2300rpm, no alarm sounded or anything so don't think it was that. But it was like the motor was 'bouncing' at those revs and would not go any higher no matter what. I had a good look at the manual and I am thinking maybe a dodgy charge coil (high speed) or suspect CDI unit maybe. Got home and had a go at it in a test tank and low and behold the fault had disappeared but it has done this before! I earthed out the pink alarm wire and that brought on the buzzer and the engine seemed to limit itself to just under 3000rpm but no 'bouncing' as such.Anyone got any thoughts on this? Does my motor have a low and high speed charge coil? Anyone know the wire colours, as the manual is a bit inaccurate!
cheers
