[DML] #1 cylinder problems




List,

    I haven't had much time to work on the #1 cylinder problem. I did 
manage to remove the spark plug wire . That wasn't easy, and putting it 
back was worse. The wire checks good. It is 452 ohms  and 16" long , 
made from Taylor 8mm silicon @350 ohms per foot. I have a dc power 
supply that goes up to 32 volts. It showed  70 ma current  when hooked 
up tp the supply.  I twisted and pulled it as hard as I could and the 
current remained the same. So, the wire seems to be good unless it 
breaks down at high voltage. I'm going to look at it tonight in the dark 
to see if I can see any stray sparks flying around.
    I am wondering if I can do a compression check using the injector 
port? My compression gauge has a 45 degree bend in it and I wouldn't be 
able to get it in the spark plug hole.
    And yes , the plug carbons up , it does NOT get fuel nor does it get 
oil on it.
    I will keep you posted when I have the time to work on it some more. 
Thanks to all that have answered so far!

Steve
