Can sputtering be caused by misfiring? If so, what could be the causes?
A week ago, when CB started sputtering, I figured it was either not getting adequate gas or not proper firing. I cleaned the (iridium) plugs, clipped the wires, refastened the connectors, completely cleaned the carbs, and all the valves and jets, and feel pretty confident it's getting adequate gas.
It sputters severely when accelerating through 2K up to 4K, but diminishes at a constant RPM (though still present). Could it be:
1) bad coil and wires (original)
2) bad points or condensers (about 3K miles old)
3) somehow knocked the timing out
4) other
Thank you for any counsel.
