did you try swapping the coils between engines? the coil can break down as the engine gets hot and stop working or work intermiittantly

OK, here's the newest. Ran a remote 3 gal tank on the port bone dry with No issues. Hooked the main tank fuel line back up just to get home (again only at 2200 rpm) and guess what? No issues. Both engines run fine at wot. So is this a good thing or bad thing? I mean its running fine, that's great, but will this issue be back another day? I have found another issue this Eve though. Who ever mentioned tac sinc? My starboard tac is now doin laps, very erratic. Can all of this
really be related?

Paul mentioned the sinc. It and the tachs can cause ignition problems when they short out. To be sure, you can disconnect the tachs at the coils and go for a few runs. Personally, I don't like not having a definitive answer to what corrected a problem. Those types of resolutions always seem to come back and haunt you when you least expect.
