Today, since it was cold and had been a while since I started it, it cranked slow... and never started. I pulled the coil wire off and cranked it, and had no sparks, except sometimes when I released the key. Put it back together and put the battery charger on it. Few minutes later it cranked slightly faster and fired right up. Later when it was warm, I again removed the coil wire and cranked it over. Now being warm, it cranked MUCH faster. I had a short (~1s, 5-8 revolution?) delay between when it started cranking and I got any sparks, and even then had the occasional missed spark. I was thinking that I should have a good spark immediately. Am I wrong? Any idea why I wouldn't have it immediately, or when it's cranking slowly? I'm already looking at a new mini starter to fix the slow cranking part , but the delay on the spark has me If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
