Check continuity on the plug wires with a ohm meter - even brand new Taylor wires can have shorts in them - I found one on my set when I first bought them.

I kinda have the same problem. Idles purrrfectly revs smooth til redline. When I punch it it hesitates just for a second @ around 1500 rpm then goes great. I tweaked the timing each way to see if that'd remedy my problem but didn't seem to help. I'm gonna test my wires tomorrow.

Any other ideas would be great
