<VV> At work with a delimna

[J R Read_HML]

Hi Bryan,  What you say about moisture is true, but the problem became 
noticeable near the end of his trip (assuming well warmed up engine).  Seems 
like moisture should have been pretty much gone by then and not really an 
issue.  I, like you, am inclined to think the problem is elsewhere in the 
IGN system.  Well, did not want to suggest this - but, a valve seat drifting 
in and out of place?

Later, JR
