Could be bad coil or it could be bad connection on spark wire or faulty ground on coil or powerpak.

Checked the spark on both cylinders,the top cyl fires accross a 1/2 in gap but the bottom cyl.you have to close the gap to 3/8 of a inch before you get spark could this be a weak coil or a bad wire?

Try swapping the coils and see if the weak spark follows to the other cylinder if it does coil is probably bad; if it doesn't suspect the power pak.
