Start it up at night and look for sparks or arcking of your wires, same thing happened to me in my 24' Super I/O last year: MSD coil had a crack in the porclin.

What's next Zup?
DUI sells and new Billet Distributor with built in coil and module for around $300. To add the rev limiter is about $120.
I have only heard good things about their stuff...

Going To Start From Scratch. The Plugs Are All Fouled, And Thats From Just Running It At The House. I Moved The 6al Box To The Motor To Eliminate The Boat Wiring.the Weather Pacs Worked Well For Bypassing The Msd Box. If It Craps Out I Can Bypass It. This Problem Needs To Walked Away From For A Day And Reverify Everything. Its Like A Speedmaster Drive Install You Can Try To Put It On For An Hour With No Success, Walk Away Come Back In An Hour And It Goes Rite In .

Dont Know What It Was. But Its Gone Now. Motor Still Running On The Fat Side. Was Able To Clean It Up A Bit. With A Rejet And Smaller Power Valves. Only Wacked It Once And Not Let It Build Some Steam Yet, So Far Just Touched 87 But The Rpm Was Down A Bit. Those Mufflers Do Kill Some Rpm
