Numerous answers without more info. needs a tune up, carb spent, timing off. Do you have a tach installed and if so what rpm does it peter out? Remember Its like the EVO your riding, low rpm grunt.

Not sure what year your rig is so smog equipment will differ. The late 258's were a mess IMO with smog crap. If its right it obviously should not be sputtering as you mentioned. Bad plug wires?? pop the hood at night and take a spray bottle and lightly hit them and look for arching. Vacuum leaks will do bad things. Leaking EGR valve will make it idle and run crappy, plugged fuel filter may be starving it for fuel. Plugs look right on the money you say eh?? not to lean or black from rich running. Looks like OE springs still which makes it ride like a buckboard. Gotta dump the home made evil eye brows mang. Thats like voodoo on a jeep.
the front has been reverse shackled it drives pretty fair bumps are rough. fuel filter get 1 now thanks for your tip and time plug wires look new i let u know how went
replaced fuel filter i found vacuum line behind carb was split n rotten took care of spuddering issue its got more power now runs smooth at all rpms
Good deal. Gotta watch those little rubber elbows too and the cheap plastic lines. The years do a number on them and its hard to see sometimes.
