R25/3 top speed problem
Posted: Sun 8. Sep 2002, 12:39
Hi,
I've got a 1955 R25/3 which hasn't been run in 10 years. It wasn't running when I bought it but the compression was good. I got a new condensor and spark plug and cleaned the points and it started and idles great.
It starts on the first kick when cold and drives well. But it gets grumpy when it's hot and will only start again (should it stall) with the throttle open. In addition to this, the top speed is about 70 or 80 km and it jumps with the throttle open at higher speeds.
Does this seem like an electrical problem? If not does anyone have any ideas what could improve this?
Thanks!
Robert
