Strong spark at the coil and weak or none at the plug can mean bad rotor. Check that #1 is firing near #1TDC. It should be a bit before, but not a lot. Check that you don't have fuel bowls full of water. Water settling in the tank could cause running for a short time then stalling dead. Verify compression in the cylinders. Don't get discouraged. You have to sort out all the nits. Then you get to drive a Bugeye!
