I had a crappy day today. My baby ran like crap. Bogging out not going past 45. Hard time starting it. I decided to take a look at the ski in my detail when I got home from my ride of shame. I put new plugs in today before taking it out. So, I pulled the plugs just now and found the front one closest to the steering wheel and found that it is still brand new no color change. I checked to see if it was a sparking problem. NOPE. It works fine. I put the plugs back in and ran it for 10 minutes with the flush kit and the found that the plug is still new with NO signs of use I also compared it to a new one that I put in the other one to match it up. I found color on that one. I also looked in the spark hole and it seems wet but not water wet looking. Like a oilly wet. The others are black dry look. Does anyone have any clue on this one??????

Compression check time.

Either that or you arent getting fuel in the carbs. It would be oily due to the oil injection but if no fuel no fire so i would check that also if youre compression is good. Either the pulse line came off on that carb or possibly the filter int he carb is clogged up or mabey the jets got clogged up with something

My guess would be water in your gas made it's way into the #1 carb and is blocking a jet. This has happened to me twice with the symptoms you describe. Water and gas mx like oil and water. The water forms a blob that just sits in the carburetor jets.

You still have two others cylinders like mine, it should run fine.

Exactly what mine was doing when I broke the front reed. The plug was really oily and new looking. I double checked the ignition system. I did compression test, it showed 7psi lower than other 2. I pulled the head and nothing was wrong.
