is it possible to have multiple wires arc and have nothing wrongwith wires??

Thanks for the advice Mike. I will look into that. I've had good
experiences with Taylor in the past but such is not the case here. I found
the double 'click' engagement, flexibility, and RFI shieldig to be great.
Again, I have not found that to be the case here. I agree with you about
the hp gain claims without a modified ignition system, CR, etc.
Thanks.
Andrew.

Scott,
I agree with you on the RFI and seeking better insulation. Thanks.

Thanks Steve. I suspected the RFI beast to be at play here but I've never
seen anything like this before. It's absolutely silly.
