quote rickrodt:

And how about the high speed charging coil acting up when approaching faster speeds? Test the ignition system to see if there is a faulty stator charging coil.

You may want to note that I did mention that, in passing, as something to look at down the troubleshooting road. However, another gas tank and line is a lot more simple than either a carb job or a high speed stator. When ever possible, you start troubleshooting at the beginning, not the end. At least that’s the way I do it….Anyway, I haven’t heard whether the simple thing worked yet, so that’s where I’m leaving it. If this guy wants to pull a DVA out of his pocket and start with the stator or switch box, more power to him.

Long live American manufacturing!
