Pull both plugs. Stick your finger in each hole and crank the engine. You know one cylinder has enough compression to run. How does the other one compare.

Move your spark plug wires away from your hand so you don't get a false reading.:biggrin2:

If the problem was lack of fuel, pulling the choke out a little while it's running should smooth it out.
Some auto parts stores will let you borrow a compression tester.

If he is low on fuel no one says that it is actually firing on that cylinder
The original post said he had spark at both plugs but one appeared to be stronger spark

Read post #1. He said it will run on one cylinder but not the other. Classic loss of compression in one hole.:beatdeadhorse:

I suggest you pull the valve cover and check for a push rod that got out from under the rocker arm.

The good side blew my finger out right away, other side did basically nothing.

Yup, that'll do it. I'll check on the things you mention in that thread.

Welp, guess that's why it came off. Barely any force on it and it just failed.

Looks like you can't just buy the rocker arm, gotta buy this the whole valvetrain replacement set: includes (4) push rods; (4) rocker arm pivot; (4) stamped rocker-cyl saddle arm; (4) hex flange screw

Knowing the rocker arm broke, is there anything else I should look for or replace?

Sam Mac 10-02-2020 10:05 AM
I would check for a stuck valve.
