Have you tried a different ignition?
Haven't tried a new ignition yet. Checking around to see if one of the locals has one I can borrow and try. Other option is to go ahead and ship this one in to DLUSA and wait.

Some time's the Pull Pull wire/cable can cause a problem with th RX wire and cause gliches,
The Pull Pull cable must be coated/insulated so that it won't cause interference, Some time a servo extention can cause a proble as well,
Originally had dubro 4-40 coated cable, changed out to kevlar cable, no change. Have changed out all the extentions now. Was using HD braided hitec, now using HD JR, still no change.

Hi gr8taz nitro,
The DL has that crappy spring to make contact with the metal cap and the spark plug, and in turn then sends the voltage back through the ignition braded shield back to the ignition box. I always solder a wire onto the metal spark plug cap and then solder a round eyelet on the other end and then drill a hole in one of the cylinder fins and use a screw with nut to attach it. This way if the spring is not making good contact the voltage from the plug has a way back to the ignition unit. An intermittent spring contact can be causing what you are describing.

Have checked for a good ground between the cap and the ignition using a voltmeter. Everthing checks good, doesn't matter if I have the spring in or not, ground checks good, take the cap off and no more ground.

Find someone who has a good ignition use one off a Da if anyone has one in your area. I have seen the ignitions leak and could never pinpoit the spot. I found the leaky ignition when i touched the wire or the ignition box(It will give you a slight jolt).
I'm really starting to think that's what's going on.....however.......I'm allergic to pain so I'll have to pass on doing the wiggle check on the ignition while it's live,
that does however give me another idea, check the ground while the engine is running. Have to try that in the morning.
I appreciate all the help guys. I keep thinking somebody else will come up with something I haven't. Sometimes you have to step back from a problem and another set of eyes might see something I'm not. Thanks again guys.
