didn't get any replies to last post that helped so i'll try again. whenever i get over 3000 or 3500 revs the motor is pig rooting, spluttering and popping and going nowhere and nearly stalling. went to a mates place to have a good look and found the fuel filter was black. replaced it with new one. still doing it. found one lead was shorting out. found out by electric shock. bought new leads. still fucked. checked spark plugs. didn't like the look of them. bought new ones. more $$$$. found accelerator cable nut near carbie was a bit loose. did it up. still fucked. HELP cos i can't boot it at all cos it is real embarrassing and sucks cos i have to change gears at around 2800.
any help wanted and greatly valued
