Default spark plug cap placement

Does it matter which spark plug wire from the ignition goes to which spark plug? The engine is a 3W 106 and the instructions doesn't mention it. The reason I ask is that one comes with black covering and the other with white.

That's interesting. You would think that if they fire at different times you would have a lot more power wouldn't you?

No you will lose power and have a real shaker.
The pistons are 180 degress apart so they both reach tdc at the same time.
