This is odd. My bottom cylinder doesn't spark. When I switch the leads to the coils, the bottom cylinder sparks...top does not, telling me it's not the coils but probobly the switchbox.<br />Just for the heck of it, I swapped the lead-in wires to the switchbox, i.e. I connected the brown/white lead from the stator to the black/ yellow lead on the switchbox and vice-versa. That made both plugs spark. Is that right? Is my switchbox maybe not bad?<br />Thanks<br />JD

The switch box bias is burned out you may as well replace the box
