ok guys, I have an update. I went ahead and replaced the spark plug on the bottom cylinder. I also did a comp test for good measure. Compression in at 155 psi. So I figured ok let see if it will fire up. Sure did, idles smooth, even runs on that cylinder alone when it would not before. So I think I got the problem licked. I wont know for sure till I can get back out on the water. Also a few of you mentioned moving to motor up on the transom. Do you think I should start with an inch or just move it up a full two right off the bat? Again thank you for all help. I dont know how much more I could have take.
