You could have a pluged EX Pipe Silencer ... they plug up with carbon real fast ... there should be a small screw in the bottom of the pipe at the end .. remove this and pull the Silencer out and clean it ........also some PWs had a rev limiter in the EX pipe....just where it bolts the the Head ..its a small washer with a small hole in it ...restricting the flow of EXhaust .... removing the washer can help... but I would go back to the cooler plug if this is the case...

Reply to Harley Tech's Post: The first thing I did was to pull out the sparkarester and cleaned it and no change in problem then I changed the spark plug and no change..I took the pipe off and there is no washer just an exhaust gasket. So I took off the pipe on my other pw80 and there is no washer I cleaned the pipe of all unburned oil and reassembled it and no change in problem.. So I guess I'll have to wait for my manual to troubleshoot this proublem or figure out some way to disengage the rev limiter or something..    thanks for your help anyway..
