Colorado Trail suggestions Hi-Ya, LJF, While at the dealer/service department, you might ask about the details of buying an extended warranty. Extended warrantys come in more flavors than HoJo's had flavors of ice cream, so one has to be careful about their purchase. As regards a good spring...

RE: Re: RE: Stalls ,no spark Hi-Ya, Sparky, Too many possibilities to suggest a cause. So much for elegant solutions. It is time to kneel before the Goddess, Expedience. Try wiring the radio to a new (independent) source of power: preferably directly to the battery. You mentioned something...
