Answer
i am not sure on this one.   but if everything is checking out wire and switch wise?  i,d say  it is coil.   even thought they??  put a new coil ?  or used??   coil   i am guessing your not sure>  i,d say it went out.   try m-and-d.com     or smallenginewarehouse.com   for parts  see if that gets you somewhere.
