Cheers for all the advice.
I've previously checked the TPS and it seems ok, well within the ranges, may need a little adjustment to make it exact. Think its just over the 5000 rpm mark.
Think I've made some head way.
A mate said to try a compression test on the cylinders. All cylinders are coming in very low, about 2/3rds down on compression around 4kg/cm2 instead of 12 to 15kg/cm2
To me this is corresponding to the carbs when i tried balanced them and they were also coming in at a lower range to the books.
If this is the valves/piston rings has anyone else had these done recently? I will check out all the other suggestions as well first, but looking at how much a garage will charge to fix this?
Would like to do it myself to save the labor charges but the girlfriend won't be happy with me being in the garage for a week or two.
Wondering if its worth fixing or moving on to something else. Cheers
