Well, the mystery of the dead cylinder is solved. I took a fresh look at it again, screwed in the compression tester and cinched it down fairly tight. When I tested it, the cylinder showed 125 pounds. All in all, for an older engine not too bad. One additional question: I installed new spark plug wires along with new plugs and a small packet of silicone grease came with the spark plug wires. Probably a dumb question, but does anyone know what this is used for?
Thanks!
