:agree: Definitely the rev limiter.

The dealer would charge you $1,500 to "fix" that "problem".

The rev limiter at 3k must be there to prevent quick acceleration (dropping the clutch style). It my be there to protect the reverse jet drive parts. Either way, its there.

I imagine it is there to prevent a runaway engine. You don't want an engine to rev high with zero load on it.

The rev limiter is there so you don't cause damage with the clam shells in the jet pump path in neutral. If you nail it in neutral the thrust would damage them. You need to figure out why you throttle is pulled causing the engine to rev. More than likely a mis-adjusted throttle cable. A quick check would be to disconnect the cables to the carbs all together and start it up then.

Sounds exactly like my rev limiter video.

Many thanks to everyone that responded telling me it was the rev limiter
You were correct [emoji106][emoji106]
So nothing wrong with the engine
Phew as getting it in and out was a bit of a swine
