Hi all, im in need of a bit of advice, my usually solid 998 in my 1991 city has suddenly started stuttering when i accellerate, but only low down in the rev range, higher up it runs like normal. Also, its now very hard to start, and requires alot of coaxing and choke to sputter into life.

Anyone know whats wrong? So far ive checked: Plugs, all firing
dizzy cap and rotor arm, cleaned
air filter, clean
actual engine, timing right and in good condition

Maybe ignition or fuel? Ive never had an engine problem before! Thanks for any advice.
