Pete,
I fly with the Lightspeed Ignition and love their stuff. I would try and work with Klaus to see what the matter is. That is a big jump in performance for the money not to mention 2 gph better fuel economy.  My Plasma III module is inside the airplane and my coils are not near the cylinders.  You may have also pinched one of the wiring to the coils. Use the brown expensive stuff not the black wiring...
I woudl also inject the engine, I use airflow performance and love their stuff too...
Those are 2 items you can do that do not require too major a surgery.
I wish i had ported and flowed my cylinders when I had the chance.
Maybe next time..
When you going to fly up this way?
Best,
Randy Snarr

After 13-years of pokin' along behind my 150 HP powerplant, I'm starting to explore what's available for having my existing engine modified for more HP...  Already tried a LSE electronic ignition replacement for one of my mags which worked great - for about 30 minutes at a time (seemed to be a temperature related intermittent condition so am back to the ol' reliable set of magnetos).  Maybe high-compression pistons?  Fuel injection?  Is there an engine shop out there that specializes in souping-up little engines someone an recommend?
