^ he didnt say he was racing.. just in 2nd .. not everyone rapes their car though the gears all the time...

to the OP if you havent changed the dizzy cap and rotor id do that.. check the gap on your plugs or just buy new plugs n wires

Check to see if your Timing is Set Right... I rode with a friend the other day and car felt WEIRD..... We checked around to see if the car was right... plugs, wires, your Norm.... You can clearly see his cam gears and belt so we decided to checking timing and Sure enough it was off by a tooth or so. Nothing Extreme to Damage the car but just not right....

After we set everything to Standard spec, The car felt and runs great. So check that.
