i bought a 00 et4 on wednesday and its giving me some issues, ill try to explain them the best i can.

when i get upto 70km/h the engine wont go any faster(shouldnt it go upto 100) when i get to this the engine is stuttering a lot and being jerky in general, after about 10 minutes i slow to about 60 and have to stop before i can hit the original 70 again i suspect its either the carb or the sparky causing these problems,

also it is quite hard to start in the cold, cant kick it and the starter seems to slow to turn the engine and the batttery flattens quickly (although i would assume this is the batteries fault and is on charge now

help would be much appreciated
thanks

it seems to be using a lot mroe petrol than it should aswell
