Have you looked under the dist, cap? wire or contacts shorting out against distributor? and at the dist cap? cracked
Wiring in the ignition switch? loose, frayed...........
Spark plug leads cracked?
Cracked spark plug?
Loose connection somewhere?

I changed the condensor and loosened the gas cap. The coil is new, but that doesn't mean it isn't bad I guess. Would the coil work until the motor warmed up though? Do the sparkplugs require more spark in a warm engine?

I am still troubleshooting my eldo, but haven't done anything in a while due to lack of time, but I just realized what is happening. Before I was thinking it was timing related, but I messed with it again today and here it is:
When I first start it and the bike is cool it runs great. After 3 or 4 minutes once the bike reaches operating temperature it begins to sputter and miss. This mostly happens on acceleration, but the bike will idle fine. If I kill it and let it sit for 5 minutes, it will run smoothly again for a short time until it heats back up, then the ame thing. This happens whether the enrichener is applied or not (if it is on and the bike is warm, it just makes things worse).
I have adjusted the valves several times in accordance with the chiltons manual and have seen no change.
Any new suggestions?
