Hi Roger,

A breath of fresh air on the list, someone actually doing something other
than blowing hot air about FEMA or peer reveiws :>)

I do not understand the spark out of the engine and possibly none inside
unless the cranking compression is making it harder to actually arc.
Maybe someone else understands it.

Thanks for sharing an experience!

The plugs resistance is much higher under compression, any carbon on the ceramic and it will take the path of least resistance everytime.
