I did check the exhaust for leaks, it's all good. I had a spare coil laying around so I went ahead swapped that out. The spark plug is good, it's an NGK and only has about K miles on it...
I guess there coulda been crapola in the carb, weird timing tho, I just recently ran a bottle of
gumout through her across 4 tanks so you'd think the fuel system would be clean.... maybe I just loosened something up though?
