I know the Harley shop would give me a dumb stare...i go in to get spark plugs and they ask what year, model? lol, it does get amusing. No, the bike shops would have to do the same thing, only I have more experience.

You know what? I think it is actually a Winchester auto I went into.....used to be a Western now that I think about it. Wow...

When I pulled the old wires I found the cores had broken on 2 of them making limited contact and I'm sure increased resistance. The new wires on and the old girl started with ease!! Hooray!
