Well, the way Marc Haibeck descibed it to me between the high compression, and super hot coils it is easier for the charge to travel down the side of the spark plug and ignite there then ignite the spark plug inside the engine because the air in the boot gets ionized or something like that. So you need to get all the air out of the spark spug boot and the best way, is to fill the boot with dialectric grease before you put it on the plug. I filled it to the top and when I thought it was full I added more. I was out of ideas, parts to replace, tests, I had no idea what I was was up against and would try anything. But after months for chasing my Tail for a low speed stumble......$5 worth of diaelctric grease fixed it!!!!
