    no spark when hot

    It runs exactly nowhere right now. You're point? Mine is, start with a good basic setup. Fix the weak points, not imagine problems. You'll run 10's with a good EDIS. But right now you can't get it out of the shed. Get it out of the shed, you are solving a problem that doesn't need to even exist. Get it as fast as you can until the ignition is an issue, then address the ignition. Put on a good simple system and get it dialed in and then you will see where you need the mods. A good standard electronic setup will run 6K all day, a Crossie definitely won't. If you're running avgas or over 11.5:1 then what are you doing here?

    Why on earth are you using something so complicated on an engine that in a sceaming hissy fit gets to 6K. Really, do the math not the internet blurb. Dodgy up an EDIS if you want a good system, curves etc but .....really?

    If you want good spark Go EDIS and a chopper wheel. Particularly with ethanol etc as it likes a bigger bang to get it excited enough. A well set-up std electronic system will see you through 6K and if you need more than that you're not asking questions on this forum.

    Since you're already scewing around and getting dirty just put an electronic dizzy and a new coil. Problem solved and an upgrade to boot. That's my 2 bob. B the msd is a waste of time under 6k any way.

    i'll bet a 6pack that it's the coil. When they begin to fail temerature will shit them in a hurry, not just hot but warm. measure one, put it in the oven at 80*C and measure it again.... shot coil. They're cheap, spring for a new one. I won't even begin with litany of issues that went back to just a coil. Put a plug on the coil output and ground it, away from fuel, farts and anything else that might try to ignite. Crank it a second or so and you'll get lightening, if it's just a zippo lighter then your coil is shot. If you crank for about 20 seconds and the spark fades, your coil is shot. If you have a heart attack from the shock remember that this was only advice and I absolve myself of all responsibility and your coil is probably good.
