Re: Correct Piston..Finally!
Yes. But they could be no good. That’s why I’m saying to try different plugs. Has happened to me a few times that the plug just stopped working. Just like a light bulb going out. But, most of my engines are single cylinder. Which is a little easier to figure out. Not likely that both plugs could be bad. But you never know until you switch them with other ones and try it. That will eliminate that question. Just giving ideas, not trying to be nasty.

Vivala, here is a link to a you tube video on checking spark plugs with a multi meter. Hope this helps.

Re: Correct Piston..Finally!
I cleaned the plugs. They spark well enough to fire I’d think from a visual test. Sprayed the points off as best I could with brake cleaner— very hard to access. Shot starter fluid right into the cylinders. Still no fire. To change points or condenser I’ll have to pull the hydraulic again— which would be the third time I’ve done it. I have compression and I have spark but no fire. I can’t figure it. If the points and condenser was bad it wouldn’t fire at all

Re: Correct Piston..Finally!
Jumpins, that’s a puzzler. If you have spark at the plugs, points should be working. May need adjustment, but there working.
What is the gap setting on the plugs. ?
