    Update….Mystery solved, at least as it relates to the throttle not advancing.

    So I got enough time in between rain storms to pull the flywheel off and look over everything again.

    What I discovered was that the replacement screws that came with the new coils were too long and were causing the mag plate to be stuck in place – hence throttle wouldn’t advance.

    The throttle / mag plate / cam / etc is all free and moving like normal again.

    Rain started falling again right as I buttoned it up so the real testing of the new ignition parts is going to have to wait.

    Thank you all for your help so far!

    Yes, I have seen this on the screws included with new OEM coils….. It is not the screws that thread into the aluminum anchor, but the other screw that threads in too far and rubs on the retaining ring….
