Hi again,
Sorry for the late reply and thanks for your ideas!

I checked the fuel flow first. Both carburators flow fule at the same rate from the flot bowl drains.

After seeing an intermittent spark I opted for a new coil off E-bay ($15). I went to install it today and found one of the terminals on the coil was seriously corroded (road salt) and the connection was loose

I't seems likely this could be an issue in other connections as well since the engine still ran on 1 cyl after the new coil unit.

Another reason I'm linking this to road salt is because it was running better after a rain. The bad connections conduct better when submerged in saltwater, whereas dry salt does not conduct electricity.

Will go over connections with sandpaper and then coat with small amounts of di-electric grease ASAP and post results (if any).
