I put new plugs in it(the old ones were VERY black), and it didn't start up any easier. When I finally got it running, I pulled the plug wires for the second and fourth cylinders for some shock therapy... Did nothing, other than shock me.

The valves need to be adjusted! After I do that, I'll be doing another compression test, and see if the fourth cylinder really DOES have low compression, or if it was just the valves getting tighter. The exhaust for 4th cylinder is TIGHT!!! Ahhh! So we'll see next week what's up there. PEace!
