work on some more and get it dialed in better for her. Some days I'll start

Well, I know its not them, as her's has blue loctite to keep them in place (
I did this 4 years ago). It also only happens in the morning right after the
initial fire up. Most days its normal, once in a while it acts up. It doesn't
do it often enough to be problem that could be searched easily. I know the fuel
is good, spark is good, timing is on the money, plug wires are new, the motor
has been freshened up internally, and runs very well. This little glitch is
its only problem. I had thought it might be operator error, as it never did it
to me when I drove it, but I have tried killing the battery thinking it was
flooded after she had the problem. When it does it, it seems like only time will
fix it, and checking everything doesn't revel any problems with any of the
sub systems. If you give it about 2 or 3 hours of just sitting, it will fire
right up, and run fine. Its gotten to the point that if it does it, she just
takes something else that day. When she gets home it'll start up just fine, and
she can put it away. Thanks for the help though.
