Hello,

I have NO idea why my last post did not show up...

Anyhow, it was just thanking you all and letting you know what I found.

YES, it is the wires. When it was running and I was grounded 3 of them gave me a shock right thru the insulator!! Anyone know if there is an ohm reading or something that "good" wires should return?? I'm just replacing them all, along with the (stock) plugs with 5k hours on them, the cap, and the rotor.

It was NOT backfiring thru the muffler--it was thru the CARB. It blew the filter housing apart!!!

Also needed to fix accelerator switch and lube idle kick-up solenoid. WITHOUT the ignition parts she runs 399% better!!!!

I noticed a tranny leak yesterday also. Does not appear to be a seal. Is this common? If so, anywhere I should look FIRST?

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! You folks are SO kind and if ever any of you needs any IT advice (that's what I REALLY do) feel free to write. Email is kingsupply AT clear DOT net.
