HAd an issue with it running rough and thought that it was moisture in the fuel added gas dryer and stabilizer to fuel. it smoothed out for that day and then next we went out the same thing. then it just died and will not start back. Looked at it last night and found the coil plug wire had gotten hot and come out of the connector to the coil. repaired with new end and we are not getting any spark . Cap had some corrosion and the gasket was not in teh best of shape. Coil does read 12v on Primary and 12v on secondary when cranking. Has anyone seen this before or had similar issues. going to try a new coil and wire set along with a new dist. cap. but my concerns are with the ignition module at this point. I would like to have it running for the July 4th weekend.
