RE-adjust valves, warm (I know it says warm and cold, but give it a try.)
Review your timing settings. Did you adjust the timing with the vacuum
advance on? Ninety percent of the problems with spark ignition engines is the
ignition system. The wires probably want to be properly separated, in good
shape. The spark plugs want to be equally gapped and square at the ends
instead of rounded. The interior of the dizzy wants to be clean, along with
the rotor and inside the cap. carbon tracking looks like some spiderweb got
stuck to the inside of the cap, and will cross fire the spark to the wrong
cylinder. Lastly, you're sure the wires go to the appropriate cylinder?
(because four cylinder engine will happily run with the wires right on two
but wrong on the other two).
God luck, You'll get it right.
