"i have this model on a zodiak
"i have this model on a zodiak purchased from florida 2 years ago. have been having running upper rpm range. runs great at idle up to about 2500 rpm. when between 3800 and 5500, running for not that long a time, it will loose cylinder #1. i will come back to idle, shut engine and restart. most of the time this resolves till the next occurrence. sometimes i have to restart multiple times. honda certified service rebuilt carbs, flushed fuel tank, tuned, swapped coils to no avail. he is now thinking it may be a bent valve that is intermittently sticking which is a lot of time and $ to repair. any other thoughts from anyone?"
