not sure if this is relevant but the spark was orange. the sparks at my points are white blue. I havent checked a plug yet. Ive never checked the spark it has always just fired up.

That's been a problem for some in the past, adding a ground wire from the battery to the engine may solve your problems! Control rods and engine pans aren't a good ground path.
