Pinto on 3?

No spark on number 1. What are the tricks to finding the duff part?
I splashed out on a Bestek system and the plugs and leads were all new. When i take the plug out its soaking wet. Should also say that its running Bogg Bros. R1 carbs.
Cheers,
Steve

have the carbs been balanced on your engine?
you could move the plugs etc to another cylinder and see it the problem moves

Do you mean that you have no spark on no 1 plug or it isn't firing on no 1? .If no spark the check the distributor cap, rotor and lead . If it isn't firing then it could be lack of compression or flooding on no 1 carb .

Getting a plug very wet can bugger it and stop it firing under load.

Try another plug.

get yourself a spark indicator (don't know the real name) plugs onto the spark plug, leads plug onto it, fire it up and you will see if the problem is spark or excessive fuel... have you gapped the plug?

Carbs not balanced. They are as they came.
Plug not gapped either .
Ill swap some stuff about.
Not sure if no spark or not firing.
