It starts and runs beautifully but at high RPM, high load (95Kg of me and a hill) it misfires like it has an ignition fault, on\/off\/on and eventually stops. It gets worse the hotter the engine gets. After a few minutes it will reluctantly starts and goes on a bit longer until it does it again. It does it after just maybe 30 seconds of starting it and going up the hill from my house. Very repeatable.<br \/>\nI thought it was probably points and condenser, so I replaced them. No difference. I thought it may be some dirt in the brand new carb I fitted, so I cleaned that. No difference. I then got fed up with points and condenser (always disliked them) and splashed out $250 on a CDI conversion, magneto and everything. No difference. I then thought it might be the coil, so I fitted a new one. No difference. I thought the ignition switch might be faulty, so I bypassed it, no difference. I have stripped the engine completely (as part of the restoration to paint it) and the valves have been lapped, checked with engineers blue and clearances set correctly. I&#8217;m now wondering about the &#8220;selenium rectifier&#8221; and whether that would give me those symptoms? The bike has a brand new battery and the fuse did blow at one point, not sure why though?<br \/>\nI don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s a fuel related issue, I get good flow from the tank and it feels too sudden for fuel, like the spark is breaking down under the high pressure combustion of high load, high RPM.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m hoping to buy another wreck of a bike so I can swap some parts over for a better diagnosis.<br \/>\nAny words of wisdom would be much appreciated.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"1965 Honda C100 with faulty carb?
