I am testing my coils today and I am getting a good blue spark at half inch so I reinstalled the plugs and fired it up. I can pull the top plug wire off and there is very little change on the motor but you can tell the motor picks back up right as I reconnect the wire. If I pull the second wire off the motor flat dies. And if I pull the bottom wire off it clicks like it is arcing but to where I cannot find. I even covered the area and made it as dark as I could to look for spark. What would make me get different results when pulling them off one at a time?

Carburation. Compression. Why were you testing the coils? Run problem?
