Hi 28,

1. Per your reply question #11, I am sure Bert's, Bratton's, and Snyder's all have this correct A-12148-W flexible pig tail wire.

2. However, per reply #7 addressing the hot pig tail wire, it is noted: "This may or may not be your problem."

3. Per your #1 question and your #10 reply, your moving your spark lever up & down, plus moving it to the same spot can kill the engine "every" time.

4. In thinking seriously, it appears moving your spark lever up and down is not that much different from moving your Kitchen light switch up and down .......... or even turning the key in your ignition switch clockwise and then counter-clockwise.

5. Per reply #15, appears he was losing electrical grounding between the upper plate and the distributor.

6. From miles away, nobody can "see" what you have; but from past experiences many could speculate that moving your spark lever is acting like moving a light switch by interrupting electrical flow through the hot wire or interrupting the grounding of your upper plate.

7. Do you know how to operate an electrical testing device such as a multi-meter or a test lamp for verifying hot electrical continuity and verifying electrical grounding continuity?
