My clipper (webber) started doing this yesterday . I've checked the jets on tank under the seat and all clear. Ive checked the fuel pump and all is good. there's power coming from the coil. Although I've read that under load the coil may not be supplying enough power but it doesn't feel like electrical is this still a possibility with a good meter reading from live terminals and earth??? .it seems also to be running rich and smells very fuelly. It starts great and idles great but underload it looses power and if I keep foot planted it eventually grinds to a hold. Any suggestions? I'm at a loss.
I have similar problem. Mine smells as if it is running rich as well. Definately appears to be fuel staravation. Nothing wrong in tank. Have you had any joy yet. Would like to plug mine into a Crypton tuner but don't know if garages do that any more.
