im using the sprocket cover and speedo drive from the new engine, i might try putting the old one back on see if that helps.

The only thing i have messed about with are the electrics

As a quickie, try disconnecting the speedo cable. that should tell you if its hitting a top speed limiter.


Did you do a compression test on the engine before fitting it? presumably as well you made sure it didnt have 33bhp restrictor washers in.

Are you using the same carbs as before or did the engine come with a set?
