Hi i have Yamaha 55 1996 model on idel and with gas is like one plug is missing when i try to touch the hytation lead it gave me a good shock.It's like that spark is going out. So i have to change the coil? Or it's another problem.

ok, lets keep all this on 1 thread.
do a forum search on homade spark tester.
make one,test the spark and post the results.
if boyh high tension leads can produce an arc that can jump a 7\16ths gap then the ign system generating components are working.

first, geographicaly, where are you located.
second if the cap is leaking voltage replace it.
thirdly we gotts find out if the system can arc the proper gap.
7/16th of an inch here but I dont know the metric conversion.
then your going to need some test equipment.
and some patience as I dont think english is your primary language.
the timer base bushings liked to wear on that engine and then spark can get very erratic.
the trigger coil on the new ones, and only 1 is avalible, is wrong.
I fought 2 of them to a standstill in the past 3 years.
but I do have a known good CDI hanging on the rack.
