JXP-
Hold the phone...
I apologize but I may be taking you down the wrong rabbit hole.
I just re-read your earlier posts and the engine sputtering symptoms actually point away from an ignition issue.

Now, you may still want to replace that wiring and switch but let's do only one issue at a time.

Check all 4 plugs and if they are black or sooty check to see that the choke is fully open. If an open choke is confirmed you have a carb problem. Your blue spark and dirty plugs lead me to this.
As Dave and Neil said earlier, this is likely a carb or fuel issue.
Please follow Dave's advice (Post #9) especially verifying your choke is opening and closing and then report back.

Again, sorry for leading you astray there.

ADMIN BILL - I'll leave the previous posts so JXP still has the instructions and the string in the thread makes sense in the future.
Unless, of course, you feel otherwise. -j
