And finally, to be perfectly clear, you were able to start the engine (although it would not run well) before the carb rebuild but not afterwards? If that is the case, why are you thinking that you now have an ignition problem? If the engine ran before the carb rebuild, does that not suggest that the ignition is ok? Definitely check for spark before ordering any parts.

Thanks for confirmation on the secondary coil values.
My troubleshooting methodology does seem suspect.
I left out some intermediate steps after cleaning of the carb. I also changed plugs and filtersbefore cleaning the carb. After reinstalling the carb I had to solve leaking at the sediment bowl and scavange tube. Once I solved for those I was clearly getting fuel in the cylinders and the moved onto the spark. Perhaps too soon.
I think it makes sense now to focus on the spark with all the good suggestions here before working back to the carb.
Thanks
