PAP G6 cont. , Ignition fail.

Started the engine again today and continued through PAP G6. The fuel PSI was stable. The CHT both worked. I made slight adjustments to the carb sync and it seemed to be good at idle and high RPM. The throttle springs passed. I then went onto the ignition test. I took the RPM to 4000 and then shut off one ignition at a time. They each dropped about 500-600 RPM.  I then tried running at 4000 RPM for 4 min and there was still a drop.  So something is going on with the ignition system.  I am thinking of trying to replace the spark plugs since that would be the easiest fix, so may try that first. I have noticed quite a bit of soot on the spark plugs of the front cylinders.  So I am hoping it is a simple fix as that or maybe a spark plug wire not connected fully.  In reading online the worse case would be that it has something to do with the trigger coil and if that was that case I would have to pull the engine to get access.  Let's hope that is not the case.

Time: 2hrs.

Carbs in sync
