    Your story is so classic and clearly suggests bad (cracked) coils. BUT….you say you pulled the flywheel. Are you sure those coils are good??? How about the rest of the ignition system?

    How come it has a manual choke? It should have a hot water choke, unless it has been changed. But that should not have anything to do with this problem.
