    Continuing outbdnut2’s comments — You could try turning the motor over whilst in a blacked out room, to try to catch any leakage.

    I have an induction spark plug wire checker. it has a winding and a small neon lamp. Slip it over a spark plug wilre and turn over the motor. It’s not a definitive test, but it could ID a bad wire (and is has to be mettalic wire). Got it at NAPA.
