"Temporarily switch the orange

"Temporarily switch the orange wires leading to the coils. If the non firing coil now fires, then obviously the coil is okay. Let us know what you find..... and remember to switch those wires back where they belong.

Thousands of parts in my remaining stock. Not able to list them all. Let me know what you need and I'll look it up for you. Visit my eBay store at:

I switched the orange leads and instead of the engine running on the bottom cylinder it started and ran on the top cylinder . Which lead me to belive the coil is bad . But I was stumped when they both had spark but one has more spark than the other . And when I switched the orange wires in order to get the top cylinder to run I had to choke the engine a good bit before it started on the top . Also when I switched the wires back I shot a little w-d40 to get the bottom cylinder to run but once running you could kill engine and restart with no problem on 1 cylinder .
 
Switching the orange wires res

Switching the orange wires resulted in having spark on the previous non firing coil. This proves that both coils are firing.

This usually indicates that the powerpack is faulty.
