Kenny:
Not sure what's happening, other than to make sure the wheel treads
are clean. Also, since these engines have an equalized suspension of
sorts, make sure the movable bearings are making good contact with the
frame. Even if they aren't, I would think the siderods would transmit
current from the other drivers to the one that is making contact. You
might have to disassemble the drive train and clean it.
