You may or may not recall but a little over a year ago I did an engine swap in my 782. I swapped in an M20 from a Huskee. Before the swap the M20 started having a spark issue, so while I had it out I replaced the coil and starter.
It's been hard to start ever since and has little and intermittent spark. (yes I have a spark tester)
Several times in the last few months I have hooked the spark tester to one spark plug and have no spark or intermittent spark. I found if I take the air cleaner off and put my gloved hand over the intake it gets what looks like normal spark. So I put the plug wire back on and do the same thing and it starts.
Question is, how does that affect the spark? Once it starts it runs great.
