Default Engine probs.

I've got a little problem with my s2 engine.

When i rev it very high for a time during driving and get my foot of the accelerator paddle.
The engine goes down to about 500 rpm and some times even stalls.
When i drive it a little slower after this occures the enige runs about 900 rpm as it should be.

What could be the problem???

Thanx

Yeps , it's a nomad double piston valve.

But as far as i can remember it also did it before i got the dumpvalve.

And when it runs some time after this occures there's no problem at al and it's doing 900 rpm nicely

I had a simlar problem on my rst. It turned out i had blew the pipe off the top of the plenum chamber that goes to the oil breather. Try checking for a split hose.

As already mentiond it could also be the dump valve. Problems like this are normaly always down to air leaks, split hoses etc, so check them all carfully.
