Was having trouble with 1 of my cylinders not firing. It would kick in occasionally but more and more it was staying off. And then a few days ago, the engine wouldn't even start. Pulled the flywheel off to look at the points and coils. Coils look wet. And there's an 8th of an inch of thick dark oil in the bottom of the flywheel.
Just confirming that it's the coil(s)
