ok i took out the spark plugs and did a spark test on them and i saw the spark on both. As far as how big they are suppose to be I have no idea. In the book it says it should be fat blue but only saw a little one on both of them. I felt the comppresion from both cylinders and had the battery checks for volts and it was 12.0 + and the load test passed too. I checked the wires and there was a crack on the - cable and I didnt think that played much of a roll but im going to fix it up tomorrow. As far as the gas situation how would I go about check if its going where it is suppose to be going.
