[Roadsters] Roadster cuts out at 3k rpms

[Pat Horne]

Jon,

Put a vacuum gauge on it and watch it when the engine starts to sputter. 
If it drops, it is probably fuel related. if it stays up, check ignition.

Make sure the polarity of the coil is correct. the terminal marked "-" 
should go to the distributor.

Peace,
Pat
