[QUOTE="andematt, post: 131248, member: 9095"] Hey guys, thanks for the replies. It's my CT that's acting up. It sputtered when cold yesterday, cleaned the jets and float valve, managed to tweak the float height and needed to readjust that, afterwards it ran great and I called for an after work celebratory ride ;-). I drove 4-5 miles across town to meet up, we drove another couple miles and all of a sudden the sputtering hit all at once. I'll check tomorrow if it acts the same cold but I believe it will. Another point is that it idles great but any bit of throttle and it sputters. No real mods. The carb is not original but is one of the better, reproduction style ones. New points and condenser last summer. Haven't changed the plug recently but it doesn't have many hours on it, think I have a few spares, will throw one in. Haven't rechecked the points gap but will do that. To me, it really seems like a carb issue and specifically some kind of blockage. I bought some inline fuel filters tonight. I'll get those in place and clean the carb again. The other thing in the back of my mind is the coil acting up once it gets warmed up. Let us know if you have any ideas or confirmation of any these theories. [/QUOTE]
