Ive seen this twice before on a fleet of snow plow truck I maintain 14 to be exact. The coil wire on those truck, in my opion is way too long it runs down the right side of the engine thier prone to heat and they will get weak and cause this very same problem. Their cheap and easy to replace. Try that and see what happens. Randy
