Comment regarding coils: I've noticed over the last few years that when shutting down and re-starting hot a few minutes later, I crank the starter for a couple seconds for which should normally fire right up...but as soon as I let go of the key, i.e., no longer cranking the starter...she will light right up everytime. My thoughts are that my coil might be going south on me, not producing the high voltage when the starter is engaged and pulling huge amps. As soon as I stop the starter and the engine is still turning over from its own inertial momentum, she fires up. Something I never experienced in my first 930.
Stone cold, she lights right up in a half a second even after weeks of sitting.
