    could be  clogging due to poor crankcase drainage of excess fuel oil mix.    I would try  25/1  oil mix with quality oil        open up  or close  idle mix knob a bit   tocheck for reaction .

    presumably carb has been  gone over   side channel  flushed out   top idle  chamber cleaned out

    measure coil resistance on secondaries  (boot to grd  should see solid  4-8kohms )

    btw  pump or pressure tank used ???
