Not that common, but common enough some shops keep a coil or two on the shelf...lee wrote: Question1 how common is this problem as I don't see it mentioned on the forum at least for this engine.
Generally .008 - .014 would be a decent range for most any ignition coilQuestion 2 Do you think .008 air gap is too close? I found out later Tec specs call for .012. I'll redo it if it might cause problems being set too close even though it runs great now. thanks, Lee

I went with the closer gap as I was thinking the flywheel magnets may have weakened in this 24 yr old engine and that might be part of the problem? I took a flat blade screw driver and held it over the magnets and I felt a pretty good pull, but have no idea how to test flywheel magnets. The only problem with flywheel magnets I've run into is when they fly off and break. How common is it for a flywheel magnet to get weak enough to cause a misfire?
