Thanks for the quick response. I could not figure anyway that the coil could know which one to fire, yet it seemed odd to think that both cylinders would be firing at the same time. Seems like the engine would run much smoother if they alternated. This is my first experience with one of these engines. I must have the year wrong. Maybe it’s a 2002. The previous owner said it had wiring problems that they couldn’t figure out. It got replaced and sat in the woods for years. This combination starter/generator is an interesting concept. I still haven’t got my head around how it knows how to exit the starter mode and go to generator mode.
