is it possible for the famous (infamous?) pickup wire problem to only manifest itself when the engine is warmed up?
all of my pickup wires seem good and i cant get any "hourglass" effects as its written in the tech tip.
the problem is that the engine in my 78E runs great for about the first mile or so then it over about the next half mile it gets to the point that it feels like two cylinders arent firing at all. occasionally they will pop back to life for a few seconds. still does it when both petcocks are in prime position. the problem does not seem to be related to the position of the choke lever.
more diagnostic info to follow after it cools down a bit
thanks for any input
