Was reading your firing problem, I've worked on ALOT of Honda equipment. I learned the hard way about honda coils....the coils DO NOT fail, the hard plastic spark plug boot is actaully a compassitor! It is what causes the no spark. Yeah, I know...hard to believe! Just give it a try, the spark plug boot unscrews...change it with any honda boot and see for yourself.
BTW...also check the oil alert on it too. They fail sometimes or will read the least drop in oil levels.
Good Luck from Cajun

Actually, it a resistor, not a capacitor. They do it instead of using resistor plugs.
