Default Re: Z80, Flat spot at top rev's

OK I had a go with the clip in the 3rd spot down from the top and it was too rich, so I moved the clip up to the top spot (pushing the needle further down) and its better. Also I am running the hotter NGK B??5?? plug in lieu of the b??6?? plug. I had it set at 0.80mm and I have closed the gap up to 0.60mm and its a lot smoother. I also changed to the same plug but the one with the longer electrode and it made heaps of diff.
Could somene please explain what this POWER BAND is I keep reading about.
Just putting around my bike runs a little ruff but then I give it a little gas or go up a hill and the engine jumps from chugging to running really smooth and fast and the speed increases dramatically. It normally kicks in at about 25km's and max's out at about 35kms, thats with the 44 tooth sprocket. Even under load at 18 or 20km's this apears to happen too. Is this the POWER BAND?
