thinking it's a fuel issue at this point, maybe timing (but I'd look at fuel first). I'd hold off on the coil relocation. If you get it running and 20 minutes later it leaves you stranded. I'd look at coil.

If it sits at idle, I'd guess the timing is within running. Flatheads are very forgiving with timing, they will run full throttle off. Better timed well, but will run.

Just my opinion.
