Well, great news but embarrassing and I learned a bit.
I learned that I don't know anyone that owns the cable for diagnostic work but I want one. Put the word out please. Can they be made?
After confirming that I had spark, cleaning the fuel pump connection, confirming that I had NOT sheared the keyway (don't drop that flywheel on your toe) , removing fuel line to the injector to confirm it was getting fuel, I 'spoon fed' some fuel to the cylinder though the spark plug hole, installed a new plug (not the right heat range but it was projected tip and resistive) and it started on the third kick.
Not certain what actually did it but happy to have it back.
Thanks for the help. I would like a cable if anyone knows of one that is going to waste.
