my 180 is running like shite! the last few weeks when i got to about 4000rpm it chugs and will stay chugging until around 5000 rpm and is ok then but not perfect? today it was spluttering all the way through the revs and is almost cutting out when i come to a stop at traffic etc. i dont have any cover over the plugs and since i put the vented bonnet i was thinking it might be something getting wet? i also put in new plugs recently but maybe their not gapped properly? dont really know whats wrong but its wrecking my head and its my daily so im afraid of doing any damage by driving it so any help appreciated!
