I was already working on a quip for your description of the last photo before I scrolled down to it.
You beat me to it;that pic needs no retort.

Saw it on another forum previously; some thought it a set up but judging by some posts on forums, seems totally legit to me.
Usually teens would have tried to thrash it away in a tantrum so that young un must be a bit timid though !

Take the airbox off run the engine and spray some carb cleaner over the carb intake. If it picks up then its fuel.

Have you tried swapping carb bodies?
I sounds like a problem I had on my 3TJ once. I was the tiny drilling in the carb body that were blocked.
Ultrasonic cleaner?

So. Fuel, Compression, Ignition.
If the easy start didn't work then I don't think swapping the carb bodies will do much, and if the easystart doesn't ignite then it would point to electrics or compression.

You swapped the coils, I take it the 2/3 coil ran 1/4 without any problems, but No.2 still didn't run with the 1/4 coil ?You seem to have done all the things usually done ... have you compression tested it ?
