[QUOTE="Jake11, post: 358371, member: 14133"] Well I guess I'll update this in case anyone else ever has a similar issue. I managed to get steady and strong spark out of my good coil by taking the bad coil out of the circuit. After I got spark I swapped the other set of coil wires to my good coil to ensure that both were getting power and I had no spark.... Kept cranking and got a few weak and intermittent hits. Popped the flywheel off and.... the insulator block is cracked pretty good and the contact on that side is far from being set right. About to order the coil and see if I can find those insulators somewhere.... Iboats and marine engine say they are NLA parts but hopefully someone makes aftermarket or someone on eBay is willing to take my first born as trade. Will update when I get the parts and test.
