Too Simple To Figure Out Dept...!?!
The more smart or automatic an appliance becomes the more time and money you'll spend trying to make it work. Net result: You lose time and you lose a ton of money. Great for technician's income...

However if the motor developed a miss, yeah it could be spark that could be fixed with new points, new condenser, new coil, new coil wire, new spark plug wire, new distributor rotor, new distributor rotor cap, and/or a combination of the above. However could be a valve sticking, low compression, stuck choke, and the list goes on.
Yeah, like cars and trucks. In “the old days” if your car developed a miss you spent a few dollars and an hour changing the points and plugs. And you could sit on the fender with your feet inside the engine compartment while doing it.
Now you need a computerized diagnostic analyzer to quiz the vehicle computer for idas about what might be the problem and what might be the fix. And when you open the hood you might be able to see part of the actual engine.
Sorry man, I'll take the new style cars in a New York minute. I get a miss, it did happen on Peggy's 2003 Sport Trac, the OBDII reader told me what the problem was in just a couple seconds. Yeah, I'll take that. Old isn't necessarily better, sometimes old is just old.
