I’ve had starting issues similar to this twice. The first time it was a bad ammeter, and connecting a jumper across the junction box studs helped me find it.

The second time, it was a bad tachometer, which was attached to both coil studs. The tachometer was robbing the coil of energy, which caused the coil to deliver poor spark. Disconnecting the tachometer helped me find it.
