My Chimaera 96p 4.0 litrle currently sounds rough at 4000 revs and does not go much over 4000 revs at the moment, can anyone shed any light on why this might be?

regards

Mike

My 4.3 Griff was having similar problems...over 4k it sounded like it was hitting a rev limiter...changed plug leads and rotor arm and cap and all fine now. Ignition would be my first check.

it sounds rattly and rough, hard to describe, it does not get any torque over 4ooo revs
