Adrian and Arch

(Adrian the glowdriver unit that I bought from from you in Portugal came in handy for for the rest of the comp. at that point in time)

Thanks for your inputs, here is what I did -when I swapped the heads I took a piece of exhaust deflector silicone tube and slipped it over the intake manifold pipe of the engine from where it exits the head up to the bracket the secures the fueltubing that goes to the injector.The plug lead was wrapped completely with the spiral wrap and tied down with a zip tie.It lined up nicely without any awkward angles -the silicone is quite thick.

There was some speration ,but not exessive , inside the cap it looked brand new.

Since I figured that warranty wont resolve this I let Walter open it and we saw that the components were secured by epoxy that was poured into the ignition box so nothing could vibrate loose there.

My regulators output is 5volt.(Jaccio)Also the pickup lead and other wires were wrapped with the smaller spiral wrap.

What I noticed was that after a flight, one could detect a slight temp. in crease on the ignition box.

Seems like a mystery doesn`t it?
