well when i start it up, it chugs for a bit then, full throttle thru all the gears i reach tops of 55mph i reckon its the cylinders but maybe not but if it is how much is it to repair

well first thing would be to try a spark plug in all the leads to see if it is sparking on all leads, if not then od a compression test to see if it is head gasket problems

firstly change the plugs/leads and dizzy/rotor arm.

if its the head gasket get a compression test, ifs its the valve stem seals it will be a bit pricey.

i piad ?288 for-

x4 leads
x4 plugs
dizzy/rotor arm
complete engine gasket set
11tho piston skim
crank reground
labour for 4 hrs
sundries (coolant, oil etc)

and mine only did 55mph when it was running on three cylinders :|

DONT change stuff until you have checked it, will cost a fortune to find the fault
