Some testing. Pick up and power source coil test within spec. Primary ignition coil resistance is .4 (within spec). However, secondary ignition coil resistance (between pos on coil and spark plug cap) is testing at 8.76 kilo-ohms. Manual says 3-5 is within spec. Could this factor being out of spec cause the issues I'm having?

Bad cap? Bad coil?

Remove the cap and then test the coil and plug cap independently.  If you were checking the coil with the plug cap installed on the coil wire you are probably ok.

8.76K - 5k = 3.76K
