Dave,
I think you will find that Europa have discouraged wrapping exhaust
systems since it leads to premature failure - might be worth checking
with Andy or Nev.

#### Thank you. I have also reconnected the wires at the individual
coils and
after running the engine today, it is doing quite well. I wish I could
say
what is different, but I will fly in the morning. I have wrapped the
exhaust in
an attempt to provide better cooling in the cowling and will see how the
engine performs after this flight. I fully expect the problem to re --
emerge!
