[QUOTE="BrayD, post: 504645, member: 24554"] Follow up - bottom cylinder was dead. I have continuity in the plug wire and had condensors/points on hand. Replaced those parts and still nothing. That only leaves the coil. Bummer I don’t have a spare coil on hand, but I’m happy I found the culprit. Edit: checked resistance across the coil and it appeared good. Cut the wire back a bit to get a fresh core and it worked! I’m firing on both cylinders now. Hoping to get it on the water this weekend. I’ll report back. Thanks for the insight. [/QUOTE]
