What? Me respond do that one? Surely you jest!!! Well,----ok!! Sure doesn't sound like Mags. Coils will sometimes break down when hot and under load, But after you landed, checked things out again and took off with a warm engine, warm day, this should have happened on take-off or through climb and it apparently did not. Sounds like a fuel distribution problem of sorts, but you seem to have ruled out most of those causes. Vapor lock doesn't sound right either. You would have sputtered and misfired, besides even though your oil temp. might have showed 180 degrees or so, the ambient air temp inside the cowl in flight, would be lower than that, and I believe sufficiently so to eliminate vapor lock. Vapor lock usually happens when the air temp gets into the 5-600 degree range caused by slow speed, stale air. Even though your cylinder head temps will reach that mark, the ram air will keep the cowl much cooler. Bottom line? Beats me, but you didn't mention if it happened after you throttled back each time. You're right, you may never know. Sorry, but glad she's "perkin" good again. Doug
