Just to clarify the fix to this post.  Yes...it is true spark can fail or weaken under compression.  This was the case here.  PTO side not firing-while running on mag side I left the plug in PTO side and just pulled the cap and put a new plug in the cap-great spark!  But under compression it would not fire.  As said in previous post swapped coils and instantly fired on PTO side.  Faulty coil.  Thanks again to everyone on the site.   :)

Update!! Had her on the road Sunday!!  So fun!!  Feels good to get this old gal back on the road instead of stuck in a barn where it would have died.  Got shifter box all in good working order, charging system, and lights!  Put a new front tire on, next is the rear.  Only thing im missing is the LH battery cover.  ??? Any one know where i can find one???
