Well, this is embarrassing. If there weren't so many people who were
so awesome as to offer suggestions and help, I would never admit this
to anyone...
To those who suspected an electrical issue and/or that it was only
firing on one cylinder, you were correct! I determined it was not
running on the rear cylinder by using the "dump water on the headers
and make sure it vaporizes" technique. I lifted up the tank to check
the wiring and saw the plug wire laying neatly across the back of the
cylinder head, under the tank where I couldn't see it. Oops.
*sheepish grin*
Thanks for all the help, everyone! Sorry it turned out to be a simple
"dumb ass" moment. :)
