Disconnect both wires that lead to it, keep the mag to cdi wires connected though.
Also make sure that the darned sparkplug cap is still attached to the spark plug wire if you are running the stock set up.
The next cheapest thing is to replace the spark plug with a NGK B6HS or B7HS (gap to .025"), and if that don't work,install a quality spark plug wire. You can use a coil to distributor wire from a car, or any used known good wire that has a 90 degree boot on one end.
