It’s not speed limited – it is RPM limited. Second Gear top is about 20 so it is cutting out at a certain RPM. At limit, pressing throttle results in back fire at times and deep sound of carb in air breather.
The sound is arbitrary (to me). It could be fuel or ignition related.
Runs fine until limit. I do have one other problem (and I can post that separately but I’m listing here on the slight chance that it is related).
When starting, you usually have to press starter button several times because it will not turn over. Not battery – even if you jump it. Sometimes, it will not unstick, unless you (attempt to) pull the recoil handle. I used to start this by hand if the key left on with no real problem. I said ‘attempt to’ because I cannot even pull it over when this happens but trying to will usually result in the starter working to start it, after that. It there any chance a compression release mechanism is not working ? (if so, can you fix these?)
Engine has about 2500 miles on it.
