Ready to sell them both for scrap at this point!

Me;; First thing I would do "IF" these both have been using Ethonol gas and then maybe a over haul or buy new carburetors ,, if you think they are worth it

Don't remember what they stated, but it was $$$.
I was out of town and my father in law happened to visit and my wife told him about it. He listened and told her it wasn't valve train, it was an electrical arc tick. He had been an electronics guy since the late 1960's in the Air Force. I started pulling spark plug boots and, sure enough, one of the screw on connections on one of the spark plugs had somehow came loose and was allowing the boot to jump a bit and arc. Total cost to repair was $0.0. Just a bit of time.
