Re: rotor cap
Are you having issues ? .036 shouldn’t be a big issue, in fact it may give you a hotter spark , some here will disagree BUT do an Internet search for spark intensifiers , that will back me up

Re: good spark at plugs but no Henry jiggle
Let’s get away from the jiggle for now, an A will run with or without the jiggle. You say you have spark ! at one cylinder or all 4 ? It would be nice to know if all 4 are sparking.
Check to see...

Re: Motor shuts down

Re: Loss of power,
Use a parts box lid, not the shiny side, double over the strip of box lid, swipe through the points until the lid is not black from the points. Now check the points gap, .018 - .022

Re: Downhill, Deceleration Vibration
Yep ! Isolation of the normal vibrations is the key, the exhaust rear clamp is a major problem fixable with a modern hanger, cracked engine splash pans is another
