    Possible leak (spark jumping to ground) in the ignition?
    Occurs when voltage increases as you speed up the
    motor but not at idle?

    A possibility I suppose.   I installed new plug wires, plug terminals and boots but I’ll check for possible grounding at the armature plate when I install the new coils.
