The absolute first thing you do: Pop the cap and rotor. Remove Pertronix. Clean the bottom(steel wool, sandpaper, etc.), clean the heck out of the distributor where it bolts down. Clean the screw. Re-attach, you can use a nice star washer on the screw to make sure the connection stays good.

Dozens of people have this problem and try to fix it by throwing parts at it. Try this first, then buy me a beer some day in thanks.

Larry Jowdy(rest in peace) "fixed" a bunch of Speedsters and Spyders out in California with this fix, probably a dozen.
