With the motor on muffs use a timming light and check the plugs and wires to see if one or more are not fireing. Hook the light to battery and move the light pickup from one plug wire to the next and see if they all light the timming light. Just because the wires and plugs are new dose not mean they are good. If the light will not light on one or more plugs take the motor back to the shop and have them fix and replace the bad plug or wire. JMO
