As of right now it's been sitting in the garage, was taken out on Saturday for a test drive, and has gone back into the garage since then. no time during the week, 10 hour days at work, repairing irrigation and working on some side plans at home, walking the dog, no time to work on it during the week really. I havent made it past doing the fuel filter and getting the barb fitting i needed for the pressure gauge unfortunately.

Not to mention I'm not super interested since i'm still bitter about the trip, and I kinda hat the thing at the moment.

I'll hopefully get the fuel pressure gauge hooked up this weekend and maybe find time to go for a ride up a mountain even though that directly conflicts with my plans of "doing nothing" this coming weekend, since I've spent about 40 hours driving all over nevada and california, going to numerous forced social events, participating in a 5k, doing yard work, etc these past few weekends. For lack of a better way to explain it...i'm beat and I need a break lol.

Sorry to take it here but what about an ignition switch or like powersupply issue?maybe were reading too much into the citcumstances of the event and missing a simple issue. If the wiring in the good doctors is as fed up sa the earlier wagons there the ignition switch is used like a junction box.

Well, i dont think its electrical or spark cutting out because as mentioned the tac doesnt dip or cut out at all, other than just dropping with the actual RPM's
