No start update:
Rechecked everything AGAIN, coil resistance was within limits, the battery and starter are good,
I have fuel to the carb and the filter is free, the rotor rotates, I have spark from the coil, and I have spark when checking the #1 plug grounded to the engine, I even checked the plug wire routing, it's good.
What could cause a smooth running, idling engine to just quit, then when a restart is attempted, it sputters and won't idle at all?
This Saturday, with assistance, I'm going to check TDC on #1 and see if the timing chain skipped. I think the crank bolt is 15/16th's"?
What else is left?
