Start with the simplest things first. Check you spark plug wire. Is it a carbon wire or steel? Carbon wires a notorious at going bad at the ends. Check you connections to make sure everything is making a good connection. Go from there.

On the cart I got I found someone put on an automotive connector that would go into a distributor. I found on mine that the wire screws down into the coil. Let me know what you find.
