Lessons learned:

1. Stick with the basics air/fuel/spark.
2. If you have a suspicion, follow that suspicion until it can be ruled out undeniably.
3. Test thoroughly (free) rather than throw parts at a problem.
4. Sometimes overanalyzing can be counterproductive.
5. Don't necessarily rule out new or newer parts as they can be bad.
