John,
I have an identical set up with a very similar problem and haven't found the
answer. I'm beginning to suspect the Pertronix and will swap points back in
soon. I'd be interested to read all responses received.
Also, watch those crimp connections on the Pertronix. I had one break at the
coil about ten days ago ~1.5 miles from home. It broke at the exit from the
crimp into the connector. This pertronix has less than 100 miles. I did a
roadside fix enough to get home - much to the relief of my 10 year old son. I
told him "It's a Triumph - we're not broken down - just delayed". He hasn't
asked for a ride lately...
Also, I have exercised great restraint in not responding to the Beer thread -
lot's of misconceptions out there...
