Solve my problem

Ok...here it is. When my t/a hits about 3500 rpms seems to miss. It wont miss though if i were top sit and rev the exhaust to the same rpm only seems to occur while driving. The cap rotor and 8.5 mm plug wires are new. The carb was just rebuilt and tuned. Currently running bosch platinum 2's. I was thinking possible the coil going bad.

Re: Solve my problem

Try adding a ground wire from one of the two bolts that mount the coil and attach the other end to where the braided ground strap is. And just so you know we have a specific section for everything and you tend to get better advice in the correct section. This question belongs in the tech/ general engine section

Re: Solve my problem

could be a coil problem and engines react different when under a load in gear.
