FMR problem PLEASE HELP...

[leighbus]

I have a fmr 140 almost new probably only a couple of hours on it. It is really hard to start and when you finally get it going it idles perfectly, but as soon as you start to give it a little bit of throttle it starts breaking down or pulsating.

I have checked the valve clearences, carbie, sparkplug, timing etc but cant work it out. I have suspicion that it has something to do with the ignition system.

has anyone had this problem before? or possibly know what is happening?

Thanks.
