Hello everyone I have a very strange problem with my accuspark ignition. When the engine is cold everything seems to be fine but when the heat starts to set in then it starts to act like a rev limiter. At first it was kicking in at 2500rpm then the other day at 3000 and today at 5000. I did adjust the gap in the dizzy and it seemed to fix it temporarily.
Any ideas?

Re: Electronic ignition problem
The basic accuspark system goes wrong. After not alot of use. Usually. End.
