Hello Pete

Have a look at your Dampening box. Try revese the wiring on this, if you are still getting spark to the plugs this needs to be replaced, this indicates there is a blown diode within the dampening box. This could well be the source of your misfire, check this out first before purchasing the CDI's. Hope this helps. (^^)
