It won't even start cold now (see video in post #6).

It back fires and kicks back, to my knowledge a fuel problem can not cause kick back like that, which is why I am looking deep into the distro cap and rotor, that's the only thing that can make a spark in the wrong cyl at the wrong time because even if the coil is off beat, the rotor still has to be in position.

Is there supposed to be readable resistance between the spark terminals? Some are in the M and some are actually in the K.

6-3 = 300k ohm

Basically getting 300-400 kohms between neighboring spark terminals.

1.1 kohm between rotor center and arc end.

P.S I've tested the CPS many many times, both before it ran and after it dies, always been within specs.
