 Gator 4X6 No Power Under Load

If you have spark and NO heat, the only thing I can think of is the intake valve push rod hopped off the lifter. I doubt if you have spark. When you check the plug for spark, make sure it's arcing between the center electrode and the grounding tang on the plug when grounded to the motor. Bad plugs will arc between the tang and the motor.

No spark at all and it's a brand new plug.

No spark at all could be, coil, trigger, ignitor, wires and/or plug connections to these. I would start with the coil.

I switched the coils (electical w/plug wires attached) and the rear cylinder is now firing. Do I assume that is the problem or is there something else I should check beyond that point?

Well, the only other thing you moved were the two wires going in and the plug wire. I guess you could try the bad coil on the front cylinder, if it doesn't fire on the front one, I think you are pretty safe saying it's bad.

When I switched them out, I hooked up both coils (2 small wires on each) but didn't connect the alleged bad one (now on front cylinder) to the plug and it started off the rear cylinder alone. After attaching the front plug wire to the plug and taking the rear off the plug, it wouldn't start so I assume it's bad and my problem cured?

You seem to be all over the forum so I’m sure you have to put up with a lot of inexperience. I am certainly no exception to the rule. I do know a little about a lot of things but it would have been difficult for me to have found this particular problem alone without needless spending and effort. I did learn from this and I sincerely thank you for your expertise and willingness to help me as well as others on this forum.
