OK bike was running well, then developed a miss. Then you threw some coils at it, and plugwires. Ran good for 300 miles, then it started again.
Well, 300 miles won't wear out your coils. Are you sure that its gas fouling? I believe theres another underlying problem that hasn't been addressed.
What you need to do is start with a good base line tune. Put everything back the was it was, even disconnecting your tuner. I mean take it completely outta the loop.
Put in some fresh gas, fresh iridium plugs from napa, oreillys or autozone....where ever you get your parts.
Clean your air cleaner, fresh oil, filter....leaving nothing to chance....
Crank your bike up, air cleaner open, get a spray bottle of water get her up about 3000 rpm and spray----MIST----into your throttlebody as the engine is running.
This will decarbon your engine....as your engine starts to choke down, stop spraying. As it clears up, spray some more. Keep doing this till you've used about half your bottle.
Now, after all this, we're ready to find your problem....
You just don't start throwing parts at a bike trying to fix it. We now need to look for whats wrong. Do a compression test, then a leakdown test. Yes, your compression might look a little funky....cause your engine has a built in compression release....
After you do this, tell use what you found....
All this can get a bit complicated, but we're here to help you.... I've was a wrench-jocky at a dealership for 30+ years, so, you gotta lot to stuff to look at on these bikes. 90% of the time its usually something simple....your bike is telling you something is wrong, you gotta be a detective to find it....
We're here for ya bro....
