[QUOTE="nigsey, post: 171578, member: 4768"] My C Rap doesn’t run smoothly at a steady 1/4 throttle and below, usually when I pull away or negotiate a slow bend or roundabout in 1st or 2nd gear up to a speed of 25mph or there abouts. It’s like it’s 8-stroking or even running on 1 or 1 & 1/2 cylinders. It accelerates well with no problem and runs well in 3rd & 4th gear and doesn’t miss a beat at higher speeds. It starts well from cold, ticks over fine and is responsive on the stand, it’s when I’m riding in the lower gears that the problem manifests itself. I have Amal 276 carbs which I have taken apart and cleaned recently, albeit they were very clean to begin with. I have Vokes air filters with K&N’s, At the moment I’m running NGK BP6ES bought from the Green Spark Plug Co, they’re gapped at 18 tho although the problem is the same on all makes of plug, I also have a BTH magneto. The fuel I use is Shell V Power. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you, Nigel. [/QUOTE]
