Is it getting enough fuel? Are the filters on the fuel taps clear of rust etc?

About the only things left are cam timing or valve float. I can think of a couple others but the symptoms would be slightly different.

What is the chance that something is floating at 6,500? Maybe a valve spring is broken and the valve doesn't fully close at the higher RPM?
Or your advance is not fully advancing?

Good answer Bulldog, not to the question I posed, but good answer.
No one is going to try to understand my point…
No one.
The concern is not how well or otherwise you can make the shift…..Does everyone get that ?
It is what the dogs are being asked to do when they engage, absolutely sweet bugger all to to with “technique”. Donald Duck could shift the gear and the dogs would still have the same task to perform.
As an aside, when you blip the throttle, is that on an upshift or downshift ?
On an upshift, what is the process you do for the blip and when you blip for the downshift, what do you do then ?
Can you detail what you do with the throttle for each ?
That is your hand, not foot.

I didn't see the V7 raffle but I am not really interested in that one, I have a 2026 Special. I have been looking at used Vespas for a few months now. They sure don't depreciate much.

There is also a V7 raffle.

2025 V7 850 raffle: https://cadrecycle.com/product/2025-v7-stone-limited-edition-raffle/
2025 Vespa Primavera 150 raffle: https://cadrecycle.com/product/2025-vespa-primavera-tech-150/

I have no association with Cadre Cycle, just posting the links because I looked them up out of curiosity to see if it was a Vespa GTS 310 in which case I would have bought tickets.

Last stop is a Can-Am Spyder or a Polaris GEM (now Gemcar).  I have both.

Not even the slightest of interest in a scooter here. It would need to come with a "For Sale" sign.

no plug when the coil arced, gave me a scare. won't do that again.

Engine pulls like a freight train until 6500 RPM, then acts like it's hitting a rev limiter. Fluttering. I've tried every main jet from a 155 to a 225. needles have been raised, lowered etc.

Good battery, Charging system is working. Timing and advance checked. Valve gap checked.

Dyna III ignition (I've tried two, no change)
Dyna 3 ohm coils ( I'll try swapping these for another set)
NGK bP6ES plugs
NGK 8 mm copper core wires

It must be something stupid.
