Time for a compression and leakdown tests.  :yesnod:  Hopefully it's just an ignition issue and nothing more.  :crazy:

i just built it about 3 months ago and it was making good compression so i assume its just a spark plug or something...    due to crappy weather i am going to do it tomarrow most likely
