Yeah I'm guessing it's either the ignitor or the coil, I'm really hoping it's not the dizzy itself but we'll see.

Tomorrow I'm gonna use the digital voltmeter I bought ($18 @ walmart)to test for voltage on the ignitor and the resistance on the coil using the instructions from a manual I found online.

Making sure the resistance isn't too high on the coil should be easy enough.
However, apparently if "everything checks out OK" for voltage on the ignitor that means I should replace it is a bit confusing to me right now
I'm sure when I get in there and re-read the instructions I printed out I'll understand.

Thanks for everyone's input, I really do appreciated it.

P.S. If it's the ignitor or coil do you guys have experience with aftermarket ones? Any advice, such as "Only use OEM" or something along that line?

We'll see, I'll report back, thanks again.
