Hello all. I have been using a kayfun 3.1. Its a cheap clone from fasttech. It has been great since i got it until about 2 weeks ago. it began leaking so I replaced the o-rings. That worked for about a week. After that the coil I put on for no reason dropped.3ohms. I cleaned it and it went back to the 1.4 for about a day, then dropped again. Replaced the coil and it worked well for about a day, now it is leaking, the ohms are dropping again, and for some reason it is giving dry hits while the well is flooding. Sorry, don't have any pics, but if anyone has any ideas for trouble shooting I am all ears. it is the same build I have always used (microcoil on a horizontal build. Always worked great. I think it is a problem with the hardware itself. As I said its a cheap clone, so if it can't be salvaged I'll junk it a buy a better one. Any suggestions on a good one to get btw?

Make sure the bottom barrel of the chimney assembly is not shorting out on the deck somewhere. Sometimes the positive block can get loose and the corner will touch the barrel giving a low resistance but not shorting out. You can check by metering it as you screw the barrel down, or just look and see if you can see contact.
Sorry I don't have any ideas on your other problems.
