4150HP that's been modified and they won't tell us what they modified on it.

We got it running again last night and it sounds awesome!! No more breaking up, no more spitting and sputtering. Just smooth sailing. All it seemed to be was the shops messed up custom carb and the coil arching across itself. There's still some vapor coming from the breather but now that we aren't flooding the cylinders hopefully the rings can start breaking in properly. It's been a long 4 years but it looks like the end is near.

Was gonna say, losing that much spark energy will leave a lot of unburnt fuel in the chamber. That usually leads to more trouble with carb motors running fat and can result in cylinder wash.

Glad you got it straight with minimal headaches and parts.
