blackhat250 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Sounds like a fueling problem, why replace coils if all looks good, ,, drain float bowls, am going for water in petrol , with winter lay-off, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator DirtyDT Posted March 10, 2012 Moderator Share Posted March 10, 2012 If it is raining and cylinders drop it is usually a sign of plugs arcing out. I would agree with Blackhat and then check the plug caps. Are they a loose fit to the plugs? Are they a loose fit to the HT lead? Sometimes you have to unscrew the plug from the HT lead, trim a little off the lead, and then re-screw in the plug caps. Make sure that you do not trim too much so the lead no longer reaches the plug. Have the plug caps cracked or perished? Also check the coil earths.
