Hi all

The tuscan seems a little poorly and in need of some help. After it is properly warmed up and i give it some welly it coughs and splutters a little at high revs. I can own up to knowing just about sweet FA, but could it be a fueling or ignition issus. It feels solid and pulls great up to 5k but them has an attack feels strange but change gear and ok - any ideas

Mine had a similar problem recently after a holiday in coventry.Turned out to be water getting into something.Down the ht leads onto spark plugs and getting trapped?I'm not to technically minded either.
They dried it out and re-sealed the cover.Nothing major.
Mine was fine while warming up and poodling along but when i accelerated it just coughed and spluttered and i went no where.They said it had something to do with the demand on the spark or something or other.
Hope this helps and is nothing more sinister.
May also be the HT leads,had them causing a misfire once as well.I think they only cost £50.maybe worth a try.
