This is a 2 cylinder horizontally opposed engine. The coil has 2 output connections, one for each cylinder. The coil sends spark to both cylinders at the same time. One cylinder is on the compression stroke and fires the gas/air mixture and the other cylinder fires on the exhaust stroke. This is called a waste spark engine, since the spark to the cylinder on the exhaust stroke is wasted. The engine doesn't really quit, it just quits firing on one cylinder, the other one keeps the engine running, just without any power. It has enough to get back to the shop. I believe I did a compression check in that condition, but not sure at this time. I remember putting a neon timing light on it, one side at a time and one side showed fire and the other did not. Does anyone know if this style coil can fail in this mode? I assume it has 2 high voltage circuits isolated/insulated from each other in one case. If it only had one high voltage circuit feeding 2 spark plugs, I think it would probably only fire the plug with the least resistance, which I assume would be the plug in the cylinder without compression.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
