Gremlins???
I am having some gremlin problems with the Little Beastie. I think it may be electrical. I have been out driving and a couple of times through a heavy rain shower, the engine seems to cut in and out, when I accelerate there is no power. But as soon as the rain is not so heavy everything is OK. I have noticed that the rubber shroud covering some wiring next to the wiper motor has perished, is this part of the ignition system? I also found a bare wire coming of the coil. I wrapped both heavily in tape. I suppose I wait to test out my handiwork when it rains again. I won't risk tipping water on it.

You might find that there is an ignition amplifier that sits near the wiper motor. Maybe the wiper motor is knocking the wiring to the amp when it's working??
