I have the same problem, but ith a Crene Electronic ignition. Dwell isn't in
the equation with this type of ignition system, as it can't be set (I think).
I too have gone through all the obvious culprits, but still have a bit of a
stumble unless I get the revs up before releasing the clutch.
Any other suggestions?
