Hmmmm. Well, Biff, you know what you are doing with these little cars, so I
don't know how much help I can be. Maybe a memory jog will help.
Have you checked the little braided wire under the point plate? It can cause
those kind of symptoms when it hangs on by the last thread.
Maybe an intermittent coil, but they usually act up after the car gets hot.
Also, make sure all your plug wires are snug. OEM wires are pretty bad
quality. Buy Magnecors and be done with it.
Let us know what you find.
