No water coming out of the exhaust on muffs

This exact order?

More or less . Look at plugs see what they look like , will tell you a bit on what’s going on.

fuel filter is number one default check for run ability issues ,timing just check doesn’t need to be to gnats azz just more or less in spec.
dist cap you would be surprised how much green corrosion is on brass contacts.

carb rebuild is not unlikely especially if you play with idle mixture and it doesn’t change idle quality.good clean idle circuit start with 1.5-2 turns out ( basic rule of thumb). Should be able to get it to idle nice keep going rich until you Stumble, then Go lean to Stumble. If it doesn’t react to changes idle circuit is plugged with crud and needs rebuild.

its not rocket science just check off the boxes before you tear stuff apart.

Took spark plug out for cyl 1 and seen it had a crack on it, seems to be running rich. See photos

Here’s cylinder 5, no crack.

Definitely running rich lucky you caught the crack!

Gonna order new cap, wire and plugs and then adjust idle mix, i’ll update once i get it all done.

Ame sure the choke is fully opening too. When you adjust the idle mix going in (lean) at some point it should stumble. If not possible float level and or needle and seat is keeping fuel level in bowl too high and hence being really rich.
