Just re reading the replies again. I’m doing this on my phone and I’m hitting the time of life where I need glasses. Fuel tank is brand new. Fuel is new. And I mixed a second batch to eliminate the possibilities. Also i misspoke fuel mix is 24:1 That ratio is a hotly contested piece of information. Four things to never talk about. Religion-politics-vaccinations-fuel mix ratios in vintage outboards. I really tried to eliminate the more simple items. In my line of work often diagnostics fall onto finding out what it isn’t first in order to find out what it is. That shock absorber is haunting my thoughts now. I’ll have to find out more. Although I don’t think I can jump a 1/4 with my spark tester. That’s a huge gap. Also coils are definitely new. I did them myself. Had the flywheel off more times than I’d like to admit getting them set in just the right spot. Points were at 020 as per the spec. Checked right before I crumbled and brought it to the mechanic.
