It starts fine, but when it gets up to the power band it falls on it face. I just replaced the timing plate and stater with after market. First ride since I did that. I started out with +4 and ran like crap. Put it back down to stock and still the same way maybe worse, and I put new plugs in it because I thought it fouled a plug. I'm in northern michigan on vaction so imput would be great since I'm going riding on saturday maybe.
