Glen - check the dashpot fluid for correct level and proper
consistency. Sounds like mixture problems.

Wouldn't think you'd be getting any interference there. The ingition
modules are designed to operate in a pretty nasty environment; high
temperature, etc. Lots of high performance engines use crane ignitions
and steel core wires. The interference would be into your radio if you
have one and to your neighbors' TV sets. Keep it moving and who cares?
