[QUOTE="shawnfish, post: 328296, member: 4468"] I just thought of something...did you check(visually) the crankcase seals? if they are bad you could be getting air from a leak in that bad cylinder and that would make it backfire and run bad. you never did say if that plug that had bad spark jumped the gap in the tester? what did you have the gap set at? same for both wires? 1/4 is sufficient but real good spark will jump 3/8 and that's how I test mine( once)....just wanna make sure cuz it could be a combo of both leaky gasket on the crankcase and bad spark....
