Intermitant spark

I have an older vertical shaft twin cylinder briggs. It quit running, had no spark, so I unhooked the kill wire from coil, still no spark. Replaced coil, now intermitant spark. Magnet seems strong, so do I have faulty new coil?

How is the spacing between the coil and flywheel? No more than a business card thickness is the general recommendation.

Check for a short in your kill wire.

Thanks for your suggestions. I have the kill wire disconnected, fires on one plug wire, intermittent fire on the other one. I used the same plug on both wires. New coil gapped at .008.
