Blue Needs Help!

Slot and Ferm, thanks for the ammo. My buddy is supposed to bring over one of those gadgets Mulv mentioned to test for spark. If he does I will first check for spark and then perform the above mentioned tests.

If it turned out to be a coil, how much do those boogers cost?

Wish me luck!!

P.S. Ferm no sign of fuel on that plug, however it had not run in a day or two. Probably best to run it for a minute then check for signs of fuel.

Coils should be fairly inexpensive...< 30 or so?

[Blue_Runner]

Yeah, after I asked that dumb question I looked it up online....duh!

Thanks man!

Performed a spark test yesterday evening and I'm getting spark on all 6 so it has to be a fuel problem to that top right cylinder.

Well. at least your getting there one step at a time. Time to backtrack and check that carb for fuel passage.

Yep, I think I have trash in there for sure. My problem is self inflicted. I waited too long to change the fuel water separator. I know for a fact I have trash in my tank. I have to be more diligent with the filters.

The plan is to take one screw out per day until the whole motor is torn apart and inventoried. Then, by December 2nd 2012 I should be able to begin putting it back together.

Funny you should mention that about fuel. About half way through dinner last night I went out to pull a sample from the racor. It was clean as a whistle. Went back in and finished dinner feeling much better

Water in the fuel can give similar issues also. It collects in the bottom of the bowls. All you have to do is drain the bowls to get it out. Best to drain it into a clear container so you can see if it actually has water in it. The water will separate and go to the bottom.

If you look through the drain plug hole you'll see a jet. It can be removed with a skinny screw driver. There are some little holes in it, make sure they're clean.
