Thanks for info on spark plug problem.  I will probably go back to the
four electrode.  I originally went with the single as there had been
some discussion about shroading of the spark by the four electrode and I
was getting a miss at 6000 rpm.  Miss was probably because I was way too
rich.

I know you [Tracy] asked me not to ask about the timing, but....  I

assume it

was not set at 30 BTD @ 5000 rpm as you recommend. Had to ask as that is
what I am set at currently.

Yikes!   The 30 degree specification is for the ignition system input, NOT
what the spark is actually firing at.  The spark timing should be 23 degrees
BTDC at 5000.  Go back & read the installation guide and let me know if I
didn't say it that way.    30 degrees is TOO far advanced for the spark!
