    And what’s this about the set opposite the cam not closing? That’s weird, unless they were gapped way too wide when open.

    I thought it was weird as well. I took that one off and realized it was not a 90 degree angle between the bottom and the side, so I bent it back to where it should be and it closed up when I reinstalled it.

    OK, seems like you are saying that you have replaced all the ignition parts on the dead cylinder, and there is still no spark, correct?

    I replaced all the parts months ago when I broke the motor down completely and rebuilt it, so literally everything in the ignition system except for the mounting plate and the flywheel is new. Plug wires are included in that list so I don’t believe they are the culprit, I didn’t hear or see any arcing.
