Re: [doc] Engine "sputter"

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Stian, tell him to check whether the vacuum advance is working. It's 
caused by a combination of timing and lean running. Though this should 
be taken care of by the lambda system (if fitted). If the fuelling is 
all working fine and the lambda system is operational, it'll be timing 
related
