Is your rev counter accurate? Depending on your chip, it might be 6750 (mine is) are you sure you are not getting there?

Valve not seating?

dodgy CPS Sensor?

I had it on my old RST. Turned out to be a valve not seating.

you say you changed the chip? any chance its been fucked up on setup and is cutting at 6 instead of 8?

Id be more inclined to check on things changed recently rather than stuff thats possibly failed.


then id give a good look over all your wiring, and earths, cos lets face it all those bloody annoying niggly faults are invariably dodgy earths
