I think I'm losing my mind.

Spark plug gaps was closed I don't know how it happen but I regapped and it runs.

WOW, I had that happen on an older vehicle after changing plugs once on a V6. The 1, 3 & 5 all closed like that on one side. Not sure how it happened. fixed all 3. carefully checked all around and put them back in. Never happened again. Been puzzle by that event every time I go to change plugs in a vehicle.

It's something one would never expect. My only hint with the vehicle was reading the codes showing misfire in those cylinders.

With your FA Cub, that must of been a harder event to find.
 
Valves are moving like they should now but now there is backfiring thru the carb. Static timing looks good it pointing to number 1 cylinder. Spark plugs was placed clockwise start at top 1 , 3 , 4 , 2 which is closest to engine block. I don’t know what I’m missing maybe it time to do a valve job on it
