does it have compression? are the valves adjusted too tightly to where they never fully close? i've definitely seen that before...

when did it have the good spark- when it was still running, or after it quit? because i was gonna say coil, until i thought i read it had spark. but a coil will crap out on you out of nowhere. i'd say needs a coil

ok, nm, i just re-read first post... have you bench-tested the coils? (actually made them spark, not just tested primary and secondary resistance). coils can be bad. i've been through tons of bad ones

Check the critical ground wire attached to the thermostat housing. It may be disconnected, loose, or corroded. It's needed for both fuel and spark.
