George:

I doubt I have any suggestions you haven't already thought of. Could the weak spark indicate a bad coil? Rare, but it does happen. How are the plugs? I had trouble starting an engine once because of a wire being loose. Fixed the wire and it still wouldn't start. Finally figured out the plugs were wet with gas from the earlier attempts and couldn't fire.

Does it fire if you try starting fluid? That should kick in even if the spark is very weak.

Good luck!
