Default Cutting out at 5000rpm?

Hi,

Got a weird fault with the cossie,when it revs to 5/5500 rpm the engine stutters,the revs drop and then it backfires a couple of times and stalls?

Changed cps,act,ect-the only clue is that from cold the revs are below 1000 but when its warm the revs are 1100.

Any help appreciated,cheers.

My guess a problem with the dizzy.
If you have the change connect a led- or star-tester and read out the fault codes right after the problem occurs. If you see a code 13 then replace your dizzy.

Or running out of power to the fuel pump? That's where it needs power the most.

I'd be looking at lack of fuel, as a cause first, new filter may cure it, and a rewire!!
