Hello everybody , New to this forum thanks for letting me join. Here's what I have going on...I've been scrolling thru here for several days reading everybody's advice and tip's and suggestions on trouble shooting miss fires , rough idle , hard starts and so on...So after several days of trying all the good advice here's what I'm left with....1997 Force 3 cylinder , 75hp , ELPT serial # OE255798..with a dead #2 cylinder...I have 140# of compression in all three cylinders...I have spark ..(really GOOD spark) on all three cylinders..Here's what I've done so far ...while engine is running I pulled the plug wires one at a time , when I seen that pulling # 2 DID NOT change the way the motor ran I swapped coils to see if a different coil on #2 made a difference...It did not..So my question is where to next..? got fuel, got spark , got compression...I see a lot of suggestions with dead cylinders to change head gasket , which makes sense if you have low compression...or water in the cylinder..I don't have those issues....Thanks in advance..
