Progress! looking good. EDIT I'd get the new ECU in & see what happens. Standard Motor Products used to make a good American made parts house ECU but it is made in China now (iirc it is $25).

If the coil sparks it's not the coil, though I did have a coil that would intermittently fail when it got hot, but it failed in either mode. It would work when cooled off. Took awhile to sort it out but I got it.
Eventually you will have to break out a meter and find out what is going on.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

I have a meter and will test the coil and see what the reading says. It was hot when the last time i tried starting it.

Neat tool, What is the gap when it gets to "super"? it would be a "cold" test. EDIT now I see the numbers for the gap

Are you saying it sparks once when you turn the key off ? As it sounded like thats what you were saying at first ? No spark while cranking but a spark when the key is turned off ? I just want to be sure just what it is doing. Ron

I don't use it often, but still a kind of cool thing to have around.
Instructions on it, if you were curious..
Yeah I see the heat setting on it.

I think fouled plugs may make it harder to start, misfiring at all speeds but not a "no-start" condition unless the electrodes are burned off or there are so many deposits in there that no gap remains between the tip and electrode.
