With really cold temps you may be running a little lean. You could richen it one notch on the carb needle and see if that helps.

I regapped to .23 no love.

I might try the needle.

Is it unrealistic to expect the individual ignition systems to run similar firing at lower rpm like 2500. One is running obviously rougher than the other.

At 4000 there is no noticeable difference between one and the other.

Make sure none of the white heat transfer paste got on the spark plugs ends that can cause problems also unscrew plug cap and cut 1/4" off wire and resemble wire dielectric grease as Roger Lee suggested.

For years now I have been totally confused by the use of "dielectric grease". I know it has good thermal conductivity, which is why it is recommended for heat sinks and spark plug threads, but the word "dielectric" means it is an insulator and does not conduct electricity. That being the case, why is it recommended for spark plug wire connectors and other electrical connections where it would INCREASE electrical resistance? Somebody splain to me.

The grease stops corrosion. It is used in many applications especially in marine and industrial and if there are dis similar metals along with moisture it creates a battery effect which starts corrosion.
