[TR] Sputtering 59 TR3A

[Alex]

Thanks Dave,
Fred Thomas advised to back the wire out of the spark plug cap so there is
about 1/2" of gap in the plug cap to allow for the spark to jump. I have them
all the way in. In addition he said the wires are now silicone, not good. I
think I will change the wires out and keep the bumble bee wire for shows. It
appears that this is a common problem with TR3's.

  Alex,
  I use bumble bees on my 60 as I like the "vintage look" however the
connection between the plug cap and the wire is funky at best.  I had an old
set of wires from my 6 and pulled off the rubber end caps and put them on so
the wire and the cap are more positively connected.  Problem gone.
