I have a Revtech 100, mikuni 42, any speed under load acceleration. there is a chatter as soon as slightly letting off throttle it stops...had idle a bit low and it seemed worse, brought the idle up just a bit and seemed better...Any Ideas or direction be appreciated...
It's your ol' lady on the back telling you to slow down. Not sure what you mean by chatter but if you are talking about pinging I agree that octane booster is the first thing to try before you destroy your engine. If that helps then maybe a top end tear down is in order to diagnose the problem. What compression ratio are you running?
