I am to blame too because I should carry my solo2 rule book with me to every event to help fight my battles with tech. Lesson learned!

Well gang.... she is ready to go again! I have a race this weekend. I added an MSD 6A and 3 MSD coils. I am running 2 coils direct to the leading. One coil through the dizzy to the trailing.
One thing to note, I ran the trailing distributor hookup through the leading part of the cap. This way the fire can go through the carbon button and only have to jump once in the dizzy.

It is running great and ready to go.

Here are some pics....before you ask...I am running a mesh screen on the carb. It runs better without the air filter and the screen will keep pebbles and rubber chunks out of the engine...
