I know all the quips about how bad L-Drives are but I have had no real problems with mine until now. The spark at the plugs is very weak and will not, sometimes, ignite the fuel mixture which I have mixed at 50:1. Could it be the coils or could it be the cd units? I do have spares from another Force engine. My engine is a 120 hp 1991. Does it make any difference if I add the oil and then the gas or should I add the gas and then the oil? Somebody said that is the reason why the engine will not start. I did not say anything since I have been using the engine for years without any problems. Any feedback will be appreciated since I NEED TO GO FISHING!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

gas oil - oil gas, doesn't matter.

Yes it could be the coils, or the stator, possibly the cd's.

Odds of all coils going bad at once are slim.
Same with both cd units going bad at the same time.
