Re: no rpm drop when spark connector removed

If you changed the whole shebang, spark plug and coil from say number 1 to number 2, experienced the same results, lowering of rpm and 1 & 3, nothing on 2, compression is within 15% on all three cylinders, then you're not getting fuel to 2, there's a problem with the reeds for that cylinder.

I would say reeds or gaskets on the intake side of cyl #2

oh yeah, I would normally hook up the earsbut I figured as I was only running the engine for a couple of seconds I could get away with it?

Blonde jokes are so passe ;)

Well $14 for an impellor will likely seem minor in the long run here.....but....toasting the gasket at the adapter plate, head, or somewhere else along the line may be more significant......
