We just installed a new fuel pump trying to fix the no oil light coming on and motor not staying alive. Pump is working now, but won't idle. We have to push the gas to get it to stay running. It's missing on the bottom two cylinders. We unplugged them and it would still run with no change. Wouldn't run with top two unplugged. So that led us to believe the bottom coil was bad. I tried two old coils that had come off it previously when they went bad thinking at least one might still be ok. Didn't work. There is fuel getting to them from what we could see with air breather off. Has to be spark related right? Could still be a bad coil right? We ran it around the lake this morning thinking we could get all the oil out of the carbs from when the pump went bad, but wouldn't get over 4000 rpms. Never would idle and we were running on two cylinders the whole time I'm sure. Would a new coil be first to try?
 
first do you have or can you get a DVA test meter? you will need it to test for 150v going to the coils from the powerpack.
