We talked about this motor before, I laid it back because I didnt have the time to work it out and now I do. This motor I don't thing had much use as it looks real good for it's age. The motor wants to jump from running on 1 cylinder then 2 cylinders and then 1 again. Won't smooth out. I believe the power pack might be bad so I have 1 new but I don't thing its for this motor. There is a black with yellow stripe and 2 coil wires coming from the engine that need to hook into this power pack . The power pack I am removing is hard wired.
First question can I use this power pack on this motor and secondly I know my black with yellow stripe needs to match up but does it matter where the other 2 go? Thanks as always.

I believe the two other wires should have a blue and a green stripe, blue (sky) being the top cylinder...green (grass) being the lower cylinder. Those stripes have been known to fade away. If switched the engine will backfire.

As for the power pack, pretty sure you can't use just anyone's.
