A 1985 Johnson 25 hp OB is only fouling plug on one cylinder. Runs OK, but misses some. The other cylinder does not foul. What do you think of me swapping coils between cylinders to see if that is the problem, as I do not think it is fuel related. Same plug, same gap in each cylinder.<br /><br />Thanks!

Welcome aboard Gail!<br /><br />By almeans swap the coils. If the problem follows....bad coil......BUT....first take a look at the ground connections for the coils. Bad ground can cause miss firing and poor ignition. If grounds are clean and tight...swap the coils.
