      Last week on it’s first test run on the lake since going through the motor,
      it ran great the first 15 minutes, then started cutting out on one cylinder,
      and I limped to the landing on one cylinder.

      Pulled the plugs later, and it
      appeared that the top spark plug was a little wet. Tore the flywheel off,
      and initial “look see” revealed nothing obvious. Then hooked up the coils
      to my Steven’s Coil Tester. Both coils fire on the tester at the same 1.1 amperage.

      However, when using the test probe, the top cylinder coil is showing leakage to
      the laminates, the other coil does not. Not sure if that’s some “stray” eddy current
      that’s not an issue, or if I have a bad coil?

      Thoughts?
