Pull the number 2 fuel injector plug off after you start and see if it will stay running. Or do it before and see if it starts easier. Mine ran on 2 cylinders and idled fine when I accidentally swapped wires 1 & 3 I think. It ran, just not sure if those were the ones I had flipped.
In regards to item #3 the answer would be no.
In regards to #1, you should replace it just to eliminate the variable, even if you just loop it around the intake for now.
