hi Stefan,

mine was very similar when i got it in 2014, flat out was 40 mph so i was pretty disappointed!

i started by draining and clean tank, re wiring the injectors and installing new inj and filters. Did you compression test and leak down? i would start with simple stuff like that first before tearing into injection system. When you do, you should disconnect and get 1 3 & 2,4 spray pattern, that together with good hot spark and good compression theres no reason you should get good power after engine is warmed up

hey Ron, hope all is going well

Rob
