Re: No spark

More than likely that's what it is. A simple way to test is to move the bottom coil up to the top cylinder, move top coil to the bottom cylinder and see if you have spark then. If you do, and no spark on the bottom cylinder, then the bottom coil is bad.

Re: No spark

I have worked on many of these motors. The coils are both okay?

Thanks for the advice wasn't a duff coil in the end just a loose wire.
