5500 RPM restriction?

Does it rev and drive above 6k? if not then the problem may be with the speedo wiring.

hi thank you for replying
yes it drives but very very poor it just splutters and it feels like the throttle is rolling on of so to say

Not sure really...

Maybe it's worth draining / flushing the petrol tank and cleaning the fuel tap filter? There is also a secondary filter on the fuel tap outlet...

Have you got a speedo plugged in?

If not, plug it back in
