I have a 2000 250EFI that has a dead cylinder that has a spark plug that looks brand new after running many hours (at least 50). It seems to me this indicates no fuel is getting to this cylinder. What should I check on this cylinder first?

Start with the basics;

Is there good spark at that cyl, to rule out a faulty ignition module or stator

Fire the engine for a moment then shutdown and pull that plug again, feel it and smell it, is it getting fuel, or do you have to pull the intake box and test the injector.

Check compression, is something terribly wrong in that hole.

One of these three will give you a direction to proceed.
