On the rare occaision that a cylinder fires, the exhaust seems to be
free flowing.

I have double-double checked. My engine has been assembled correctly.
The chains are right, the valves are right, the right piston is TDC at
on the right stroke, (When I pulled the dizzy, it was right the first
time, and I put it back 180 out) and I verified that the distributor
is on #1 on the right stroke. Adjusted so that timing light reads 13
BTDC. No guessing anymore, I'm positive.

After putting it all back together today, I gave it just a couple
cranks to see what it would do, plus I wanted to put the timing light
on it, and it fired 3 cylinders noticably.

The next thing I'm going to look at is the possibility of the spark
being too weak. What I view as strong enough, may very well not be.
