Normally, you should have sparks on all four, not two. Another words, if you crank or idle continuously and if the spark didn't end up in the spark plugs it could well easy end up in the igniter, destroying it.

First, you must confirm that you have supply voltage at the coil and igniter. A simple test light or DMM will do. Do you have power? If Yes go to second step.

Seconds, connect one end of the test light to + (positive) battery post, the other end to the - (negative) input on the coil. Do you see a flashing light when you crank? If not, replace the igniter.

Most likely the dizzy igniter like mentioned before. Distributor king to the rescue. His igniters are enhanced to withstand 100 degrees more temp than oem igniters and my td-77u was 172 delivered to my door. Try to get that price from Honda haha!

Is your timing correct? (try resetting the timing) Is your fuel rich enough? (try starting fluid) When you tuck the motor out, did you do something that may cause a drop in compression?
