Pretty much just lost power doing 45 mph. Engine wa still running, but poorly. First thought was dry tank, though as I flipped to reserve I noticed it was about 20 miles early for that. Still ran very poorly, limped into a gas station whn the traffic finally let me over.
It never died, it responded to the throttle with increased (but sickly) revs - just no power.
And of course it was just late enough there was no freaking way I was going to be able to get it to the shop tonight before they closed. Called them anyway but clear across town, hour before close, at rush hour - no.
After a half hour or so I restarted - sounded better. I don't think it was quite normal, but not sure. Wa able to baby it home - it didn't seem at full power, but a nothing like it was, so maybe that was just my imagination.
So intermittent loss of power, comes and goes....last time that was the CDI. I really can't replace that now. Had a brilliant thought it might be the vaccuum caps (cheap fixes are always nice!) but no, they seem fine.
Not sure how but I guess I'll get it to the shop tomorrow - going to be difficult with meetings @ work & family busy.
