Pull a plug wire and let it arc to ground.. this will test your coil.. a fat blue spark thast will jump 3/16 inch gap is a good coil. You may just have a tired engine and low compression.. or it may have sat a while and have stuck rings. if so.. put some MMO down the spark plug holes and let it set a day.. stuff some paper towell into the holes to keep dirt out.. roll the engine over a tad to move the cyls an inch or so.. re-top off with MMO wait another day..then take an old towel you don't wan't and roll the cyls over gently with the towel over the head to soak up all that MMO oil that's gonna leak out. Reinstall plugs and go. If it is still weak, check the carb adjustment. Cheap ATF Tranny oil works 95% as good as MMO.. and is way cheaper. Soundguy
