Hey! I was hoping someone could help me with a problem. I saw some postings similar to my problem but not the same motor. I have the intermittent no spark on one cylinder problem. It did it last year but I just thought it was fouled plugs. 1st time out this year it acted up at first but then was ok the rest of the day. Today it was being very stubborn. The 2nd cyl would kick in here and there about enough to get me miles upstream and then it was 1 cyl the whole %#@%&* way back! plugs are good. Tried swapping plug wires same cyl dead. Anyone have similar problem?

Hi Fisher,<br />Your problem could caused by several things.It could nothing more complicated than a bad ground on a coil,could be the power pack,or the sensor coils on the timer base,or even a wire that's broken and making contact some of the time. Something like this is very hard to find without testing the whole ign. system. If you have a manual it will take you through this step by step, if not and you still want to do the work yourself post again and I'm sure that someone on this board will walk you thru it.<br />Good luck
