Thought i found the issue this morning but failed again.

Found this after pulling the flywheel. So put some solder on the wire and stuck some heat shrink on it then routed the wire so it wouldnt happen again. Got it all back together after checking point gap and still does the same thing.

Pulled a plug and it looks dry to me, cant tell if the droplets that are on it is water or fuel. Im going to try another tank i have because this one seems to be leaking out the primer shaft
