Howdy, Eldj.<br /><br />Don't let it fool you. Disable each spark plug when at idle. If there is no drop in rpm that is a dead cylinder.<br /><br />If both on one side are dead you have a powerpack problem. If two side by side are dead you have a carb problem.<br /><br />Let us know what you find. :)

You probably killed him with this advice. Pull a spark plug while the engine is running??? LOL.
