These guys have it right. Either you have a bad plug, a bad wire, or a bad cap on the mag. Another possability is you have the mixture set too rich and the engine is getting too much fuel to burn with the available spark. As someone said pulling the wire and letting the spart arc creates a stronger spark at the plug. You should be able to arc the wires on the cylenders individually and find the one that is missing, or take the plugs out and find the one that is black or fouled. : First of all don't go putting any resistors on your spark plugs and if possible stay away from the guy that told you that. You should be using a Champion D21 plug . I would start a process of elimination by changing a plug at a time then a wire at a time and so on. One thing that has given me absolute fits in the past, especially on a magneto, is the carbon core automotive wires. Ceck all the wires and make sure they are steel core wires. John
