Can't be carb or emission related. This would affect more than one
cylinder.I would suspect a broken scraper ring. Are you sure its not the
other way round i.e. the plug is misfiring and you are getting gas
fouling? I would try chanhing the plug and plug wire first. Also make
sure your spark is as good on that lead as the others.
