start by pulling the leads off the engine one by one

if the tone changes - relpace the lead

if its running on 3 u should find one that doesnt change the tone

once uve done that check theplugs and lead for that cylinder

try swapping the lead with one of the others see if the fault moves to another cylinder

if that all fails check dizzy cap

Best wear some gloves when pulling lead off a running engine, can get a nasty shock otherwise.......

Yeh ive seen three or four other posts like this in the last week, this is not including mine that was doing exactly the same thing, all i did in the end was change the leads and the plugs and ive ordered some new heat sheilds (they extend the end of the spark plug away from the engine/manifold so ur ht leads dont get fukt, mines runnin ok now but i still think theres summink rong with the dizzy :roll:
