The compression test is my next step.....and I probably should of dis that first off to see what I was really working with.
But with the flat spot it has, it very could be a weak cylinder or more.

Re: Stuck valve....I'd guess??
I will have to pull and re-gap the plugs, at .025 wouldn't the spark just be a little hotter or is the difference enough to make a big difference?
