Also looking at coils, it's appears possible to swap wires at coils themselves? Such as 1 & 4 wires where they entre coil. And for 2 & 3 coil, is it possible to plug #3 wire onto cylinder #2's plug?
This is how I put in each coils
Note: reading from the seat from left to right.

Coil(a) coil(b) coil(c) coil(d). B and d are long coil wires

(a,2) (b,4) (c,3) (d,1)

Spark1 spark2 spark3 spark 4

And yes I checked to make sure they were still lined up.

While I have been waiting for the other shim to come in the mail I started doing some research. And I think I might have come to a solution. Or at lease part of it.
This website talks about ignition coil polarity.

From it sais that if you have your wiring incorrect it can cause a weak spark. Therefore it might fail to run.

But in my case all the spark plugs fired the exact same when I tested them.

One thing to point out is some of the spark plugs were not dirty with residue from combustion. This might be because the carbs aren't outputting fuel. This is false because the float bowls are full and the main jets and pilot jets are clear. So then what could be causing no ignition?
