FWIW -- the 2 great things about ignition systems:  1) so simple you can 
hold all the components in one (big) hand & 2) it is usually the problem.

I carry a complete replacement ignition system known to be good.  If an 
ignition problem is suspected it only takes a couple of minutes to 
replace everything.  If that resolves the problem then work backwards to 
find the real culprit.

For checking spark, this little jewel works well (at this price maybe 
you could just install 4 of them!)...

Good Luck.
