    If you would, please see the Announcements at the top of the Forum, and provide the Required Info (serial number). Thanks!

    Good idea to check the BASICS (Compression, Spark, Fuel Quality, Delivery and Pressure), perform a sweep-test of the TPI, and if no problems are found- check the Trigger (resistance tests, while slowly advancing throttle from idle to WOT position and back). Sometimes a "break" develops in the trigger harness that presents in only one position of the throttle.
