Condenser also checked out.
Points are clean.
I checked compression and had 90 psi on both cylinders. Not sure if this is a good number but it doesn't seem too low or uneven. I can check later after some run time to see if there is any change.
So after a lot of starter fluid and cranking we are now up and running. I've adjusted the main and idle screws to my satisfaction.
So after all that I did notice something while trying to get started. I had a tendency to leave the key in the run position after a failed cranking. So I'm leaning toward the "hot coil" issue to me leaving the key on.
Any seconds to that?

#90 compression is just fine,
These double breasted opposed twins are low compression engines.
Iffin yall in-sits on leaving the key on, ya gonna pony up a Benjamin and a jackson or two, for something new.
