They were already on so I tried listening to a different radio station and that seemed to do it !

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

I've just had a similar experience with my 82 430.
A couple of things I would always check.
1. Clean off all powder coating at coil location and at engine mount locations
2. Add additional ground wire from motoplat mounting screw up to coil location....just to rule out earth issue
3. Make sure motoplat mounting plate location on crank case is clean of paint /powder coating
4. Make sure mag is mounted securely
When you kick her over they need to be spun up very quickly to get a spark.
I have always times my husky at 2mm before TDC....where has the 2.2mm BTDC come from

Not sure. I just checked and I did 2mm as per manual.

As Bengt says, think about all the places the ignition bolts to and clean them to bare metal. It uses a frame path to complete the circuit. Next, make sure the HT coil wire has fresh copper at the end where it screws into the plug cap. Timing at 2.2 vs 2.0 won't be the problem. They run very well from 1.5 to 2.2 BTDC. I like mine around 2.0 - only because they seem to be a little more tolerant of Kalifornia's bad gas than at 2.2. Run a non-resistor plug #8 heat range gapped at .024", so something like an NGK B8ES or B8EV, etc.
