loose wiring? VR sensor bracket loose? they really should be the ultimate in set and forget. The only time I had trouble with mine was from wiring

unless it's not the sparks, and is actually fuel. Assuming they're both using the same fuel tank, are they both getting fuel? IE are the float bowls full on both?

Have you plugged in the laptop? What is the MJ reading? That will let you diagnose if its the MJ. Only trouble I have had is the crapy bolt on trigger wheel falling apart after lots of 8000 rpm work......fitted a KAD fluid balancer problem gone.

Plug: 170992920528 (ebay)
Falcon VR sensor: 151094347211 (ebay)

I run a EF falcon VR sensor and one of those plugs off of eBay. I have some issues with the wiring on my car so I actually soldered on thin tie wire rather than actual vehicle wiring to the plug. I was finding vehicle vibrations were causing the wiring just at the connectors in the plug to frey and break. Good luck but definitely stick with it.
