I have a good shear pin, the wires have 0 resistance, the could have .6 and .8 ohms resistance, the points have a gap of .20, the plugs are new, everything visually looks brand new!

shear pin? the shear pin is on the prop shaft. The flywheel key is something else. I think you mean flywheel key. If you have no spark to both then does it have a kill switch. Sounds like the kill switch could be grounded.
Have you removed the flywheel since it quit? There really aren't many things that can make it suddenly lose spark on both cylinders. Sheared flywheel key is chief among them. Something coming loose in there and wiping everything out would be the other one.
The flywheel must be properly installed and the nut properly torqued to 40 ft/lbs or the key will shear and damage the flywheel and crankshaft.

I have removed flywheel and everything underneath looks great. the points gap is .020 and the coils and condensers are both new. the wires have 0 resistance, so I am assuming they are good. still no spark...
I replaced the coils and condensors and cleaned points and tripplechecked the gap and now I have fire on one cylinder, but not the other. the coils are aligned to the machine marks, but I am not sure if one is adjusted right or not! what should I check for?
The coils are adjusted to where the laminated cores are flush with the machined edges on the posts where they mount.
OK, you didn't change the spark plug wires did you? It is common for them to arc through where they are clamped to the bottom of the armature plate. Just a very tiny pin hole, almost invisible. That could account for no spark on just one cylinder. If you do change them, it requires copper core "wire" wire, not the carbon string stuff used on cars.
Well I got it running, but it makes a clattering noise when you decelerate and it gets louder the longer you run it... you can barely hear it towards the end of this video
coils out too far hitting the flywheel? You should not rev it like that it a barrel under no load it will over rev and throw a rod out of the side of the block. Fr
