It starts easer warm but it still runs rough at any rpm, its doesn't sound like a steady skip.
Edit
I started it today and it idled realy rough and died after about 6 sec. I got it warmed some and it will idle but now the tach jumps from 600 RPM to 1,500 RPM ramdomly I think my coil is going bad it tested 9.1 OHMs between the + side and were the plug wire goes to the dizzy is this right?
