Travis, The TTS could be stuck closed , they are not that expensive to 
replace. You may also in the ordeal have gas fouled he plugs to the point 
they might need to be replaced. Drive it around for a while and check them 
for proper burning. There is a chart on the web site. The wires would have to 
be pretty bad to jump or broke rubber or something like that.

<< Could it be that the thermo-time switch was stuck closed and unplugging it
caused it to be released, leaving it stuck open all the time?

Early on, I was checking the spark at the plug and I couldn't get one. Will
the spark jump out past the rubber sheath when grounded to the engine?
