Hm..no doubt. Who doesn't want to me "The" Dave Stragand of Vixen fame? I don't think I have the power to get there tho... I'm going to make sure I don't have a loose plug wire, then start looking at fuel issues. All this fuel stuff is new. I've introduced so many new variables to the system that it'll be difficult to track down. When it loses power really bad, the engine has a stutter when revving, like a cylinder is missing, and the engine sound gets really loud through the mixture control unit, kind of a "bogging out" sound. I dunno...either I'm still starving the thing or I'm losing a cylinder somewhere. Like I said, it's intermittant and it doesn't seem to matter if it's hot or cold. --- In DMCForum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Dave Stragand" <dave.stragand@xxxx> wrote: > Generally the ignition either works or doesn't.
