Well maybe there is so much oil at the neutral swith that it is the same as rain grounding out the sensor switch!Skids (Sid Hansen)

Hey Nate,
My vote is the old Mikes XS Green Monster coils! How many miles/years do you have on them? IF it's close to a year or so....then I would really look at swapping out the coils, at least try the old stock ones IF you still have them to rule them out. Run it up and down the block with it missing a bit, and then spritz the headers with a spray of water and see if any of them sizzle LESS than the others. If you find even just ONE, you can't rule out the coils, because when they start getting weak, they can have enough juice to drive the first plug coming off the wire, but then not enough to drive it thru the engine and back thru the 2nd plug....so you can get 1 week cylinder and it's not necessarily a fuel issue! This is a rare occurence, but failing ignition coils are also a bit more rare, but were more common with the MikesXS ones!

With the brake lightly applied the "chunkiness" is gone.
All the pipes sizzle, some more-so than others so I figured temps would be in order. All temps taken right up by the first bend. 1-600ish, 2-430ish, 3-240ish, 4-415ish. So 1 and 3 are a out of line.Nathan
