CB55)K3 starting conundrum

I can't see how the battery would cause a malfunction in one pot and not the others.   An ignition fault is more likely to cause 2 pots to fail unless it's the HT cap - try swapping 2 and 3.  I'm thinking you could have low compression on pot 2.  Worth checking.

Johnwebley:
check the coil,if the leads are long enough,try putting 2-3 on 1-4,and vise-versa,

I found I had a faulty coil,it would cut out when it got warm,

Just got myself a compression tester so I'll give it a whirl.
