Before you pull the engine, put #4 at TDC on the firing stroke (or loosen
both rockers) and blow air into the spark plug hole while listening at the
carb, exhaust, or oil filler. This will further narrow down the problem. If
it's out the exhaust, it may well be carbon. If it's out the intake, it's a
valveseat, most likely. If it's out the oil filler, it's a bad piston or
broken ring(s).
yea, Vairily ... Shaun
