Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

Hi,

My 85 GL would buck a time or two when I was accelerating, usually at 3-4K rpm.

The digitool and tach had normal readings.

I was leaning towards a spark problem, since it is harder for the spark to jump the plug gap at the higher compressions of accelerating.

New spark plugs, no help.

Cleaned the 12K mile rotor tip. Also put a socket on the ground wire connections, loosened them and then re-tightened.

Buck gone.

Bye, Mark Ingalls
