This is a simple 2 cylinder wasted spark system and both plugs always fire
at once. The fixed (stator) ignitor coil is a single winding if I recall so
one cylinder cannot have different spark timing from the electrical end of
things. Could look at the rotating magnet end of things in the flywheel, I
suppose. Could have a bit of metal stuck in there extending one magnet's
field forward.
The only other things that can make one side detonate and not the other is
unique leaner mixture, different squish angle in head, more compression or
more actual advance from the crank throws having shifted from each other. I
have heard of the last one happening in a very few rare cases.

John, I'm very familiar with 2 strokes and ignitions, not very much so
with the F500 plants, but all applies, and I'm sure I will be corrected,
but...
How does that ignition layout, is there anything that's separate from
one cylinder to the other? I'm thinking more like a bad CDI unit or stator
coil...

Are you thinking there is a spike in the current? What should I change?
