When running at 70 irregular tickover and dies When I get temp up to 75 ish ticks over 850 rpm fine. I also changed temp sensor which has improved running. I used to...

Yes will post over weekend

I have replaced my dizzy with a powerspark only to now have a oil leak from the vent holes on underside of body. They sent me another one and its the same. The original dose not leak ???
