    Sorry to hear that RX41761. I hope you can get her back up and running for next season. Assuming everything else is in working order a short block can be had for around $2500.

    Well the picture simply shows a spark plug that has been shorted out. No compression or just no combustion on one cylinder? Are you sure it's not as simple as new plugs or did they do a compression check and find a bigger problem ?

    In any case if they fix it for you that's a good thing.

    I checked compression myself. Also finger over plug hole very little pressure.

    OK, how it was not obvious that motor was running with a dead cylinder surprises me.

    Good luck with the repair I hope you get back to full power.

    It ran surprisingly good. It was the oil leak and rpm that led me to this.

    I hesitate to say this but... if that plug was installed with a crushed electrode, that may have killed that cylinder. If raw fuel was accumulating with no combustion and wiping the cylinder walls it'll do that.
