1988 900 SPG. Symptoms: when warm at speed the engine misses at around 28-30k rpm. It has been happening very intermittently since this Summer, but lately has gotten worse.
The reason I suspect the distributor (hall sensor wires?) is that the plastic connector on the side had deteriorated and I just left the hole open with the three wires siliconed to the side of the distributor to keep them from getting eaten. Thus the half inch opening could allow moisture to get into the distributor innards. I do have access to another distributor -- do I have to set timing if I swap it in?
The reason I suspect the fuel pump is that it seems to have gotten noisier lately.
I know it could be other things too, but any prognostications are welcome.
