Well. I have replaced the spark plugs with totally new ones, and the problem went away for a short while, but the bobbing noise and vibration has returned, I have checked the HD leads and they seem too long and one doesn't want to fit as tightly as the rest and I have come to doubt that they are fitted in the right order, can any body tell be what the order is and how they fit on the Dissy cap/CDI or whatever modern cars have?
