I've got a 200 that that is very hard to start, runs rough and has little to no power. I went through the fuel side and replaced many parts on the electrical side with no improvement before doing some actual trouble shooting. I gapped a spark plug to 1/4 inch and tried it on each cylinder. Number one had a nice spark and all others showed no spark. The engine only tries to start with #1 wire attached.
The points and condensor are new as is the coil, rotor and, cap. Plug wires look good. I pulled the rotor and cap and watched the points while cranking the engine. They don't appear to hit evenly on all four cylinders. It seems like this could be causing my lack of spark, but I'm not sure why the points whouldn't be striking evenly. Anyone seen this before or got a better explination for my lack of spark?
