Default CRRC 40 and RCEXCL Ignition

Hey guys, I need some help here please.

I purchased a CRRC 40 engine kit and put it together per the instructions. I did use a better quality gasket sealer and I swapped out the stock bearings for bearings from Boca. I installed a new RCXcel igntion and halls sensor from AGAPE racing in place of the stock system. I also opted for the CM6 conversion. The problem is I cannot get a consistent spark from the ignition and when I can get it to run it eventually quits and won't restart unless it sits for awhile. The carb was taken apart and cleaned, the battery is a fresh 1500mah 4.8v, the plug was gapped to .020, I have adjusted the needles to numerous positions and nothing gives a consistent run. The prop is a 18x10 Vess. I have noticed that the spark coming from the ignition is very faint. Jim at AGAPE advised me to re-gap the plug but that made no difference. The only thing I haven't tried is the stock ignition and halls sensor. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Happy Flying,
