Just out of interest, have you checked the exhaust. Herman gave all these symptoms, although he wouldn't rev past 2 1/2. Cause of the problem was loose wadding in the back box that had plugged the tail pipe. Simple temporary solution was a firm shove with a 2' breaker bar and drill a series of 12mm holes in the silencer to let the gas out in case it plugs up again whilst waiting for the replacement.

The exhaust seems fine but I will check it but the problem was only when it is at full working temp and I even have trouble getting throu mot's as the exhaust takes forever to get hot so I don't  think it could be that
