Coils on these engines were trouble. While your at it have a good look at the points also.

I agree. The insulation on the coils will crack and allow the spark to jump to the mag plate. Replace the points, condensers, coils and plugs and you'll be amazed how well it will run. Fuel consumption on the other hand...
