The odd thing is that my Cobra had been running perfectly fine the last couple of runs. I did have some misbehavior recently, but realized that the vacumn caps were brittle and cracked causing leaks. I've replaced all of the vacumn caps and it had been running fine.

Drove to the gym, then drove down to the market. After lunch, I got in and once I got out onto the blvd and hit cruising speed, I noticed this odd cutting in and out. A little throttle and it comes to life. Maintain a cruising speed, and the problem is back.

I'll try the carb cleaner "air bleeds" trick tonight. I read that post last night, but by the time I saw it the local parts house was closed and I didn't have any carb cleaner on hand.
