If you had the battery disconnected (disconnected the computer is what i'm
referring to) then you have experienced the "Initial Computer Learning"
startup. (That's pretty normal for the first few seconds.) .043" isn't a
problem even for the stock coil but you may want to wait until you have the
Cap, Rotor, and new wires on her as well before regapping them. (The
factory wires may have something to do with this.)
