> Hi everyone,

> I reset the timing tonight and made sure that all the spark plug wires
> were going to the right cylinders (which they were :) ). While I had the
> plugs out I noticed that the #1and 4 pistons looked very black and sooty
> while the #2 and 3 were metalic and shiny. Maybe only the #2 and 3 were
> firing before. Anyway, I went to crank it over and I thought it was
> going to start for a second but it died. I tried to get it to start for
> about five minutes. I noticed that when I let it sit for about 30
> seconds and tried it, it would turn over for a few revolutions but after
> that it wouldn't hardly fire until l let it sit again for another half a
> minute. Would the hole in my muffler have anything to do with it not
> wanting to keep running? I don't know a lot about exhaust systems. It's
> wierd, it will turnover a few revolutions, die, and then I'll get
> nothing. Anyone out there have any idea?
