[Spridgets] Fuel take carbon and vapor filters

[Guy Weller]

Leo,
If it is an electrical misfire then the tachometer needle will thrash
around. If it is fuel / vapour lock etc then the revs will drop as it
misfires but the needle won't thrash about so much.
But it could be valves sticking as they get hot. Is it a standard camshaft
and what clearance are you running the tappets at?

Guy

Hello Leo,

     I too am leaning toward coil. 10 minutes shouldn't be long enough
     to vapor lock it, I would think. however it is long enough for
     the coil to heat up and start acting .... ODD...

     and its an easy enough thing to check. Swap coils .. i've heard
     of the coil being broken not enough to see right where the the
     low tension leads connect.... .. ALSO .. CHANGE the CONDENSOR!
     that too will cause similar problems, and the only way to check
     it is to change it....
