[QUOTE="Flyer58, post: 436640, member: 18629"] Before digging in too deep do a compression test. I suspect the #2 cylinder is weak. Also, with the key OFF !!, Rotate the crankshaft using a socket and long ratchet or breaker bar so you can feel and hear the compression. If it sounds like air is escaping easily through the intake or exhaust you may have a bad valve or carbon is not letting the valve fully seat. [/QUOTE]
