Since the engine and carburetor are well maintained, we suspect an electrical issue, so a hands-on inspection is the most efficient approach.
The coil currently in use is so weak it’s barely visible—pretty sad.

The test coil works great and fires with a strong, confident spark—very reassuring.

It’s not conclusive, so we’ll verify according to the manual, but the readings are within spec…
For now all four cylinders are running well, and once road conditions improve we’ll take it for a test ride to see how it performs.
