so im impressed that my new motor starts right up and runs. I put my hand in front of the exhaust to see what the temperature of the exhaust was to see- kinda- running rich/lean or what. I notice that #2 cylinder has no exhaust coming out. I check the plug, drowned. Well, my new plugs were stock plugs, so i switch them all out to the hotter plugs that came in the motor, #2 is drowned immediatly. I check spark, perfect. I check injector pulse, perfect. I did an experiment. I took the injector out, put in a new plug that was perfectly clean- drowned it after a brief start. Ok so where is this "gas" or liquid coming from. Im thinking the case is full of gas. Im scared to check the crankcase though. I have a ghetto compression tester, you push it in and hold it while someone cranks. #1 has like 110lbs roughly, #2 has 60-70lbs, 90lbs if you hold it there a couple seconds. IF my crankcase is full of gas-from cranking and cranking w/o ignition the last couple of days- and i drain it, any chance my compression will come back up and itll stop drowing plugs or do i need to take it back out and rebuild it already?????
