I typically go one step further, and run a ground from the other cylinder head to that stud also, ust to make sure everythings grounded well. Clean those grounds ! Especially the threaded hole that you are grounding too. This goes for alternator brackets and their bolts and threaded attachment points.

What I still can't get my head wrapped around is that both engines have the exact same problem at the exact same time and the same band-aid gets me going again. If it is in the ignition, what are the chances of the fault happening to both engines at the same time? And it is almost predictable after happening multiple times now. I would guess I can go out one more time and be fine, but after that I will probably have a failure (seems every 3rd outing).

When it does act up have you pulled the air cleaner to see if it squirts fuel, before changing plugs

I guess I will go LOUD for a while and see what happens. SH!T
