    ...or plug cap.

    What does the plug look like in the dropped cylinder? Wet and petro smelling? Oily? Black, sooty, carbon build-up?

    Actually, what do all of the plugs look like?

    How recent is the air filter change?

    Battery have a good full charge and topped off?

    Sorry for all the questions, but they generally lead to answers.

    well..............
    i guess you'd have no spark if there was no fuel.
    He was sorta right, in a wierd twisted way
    hahahahah

    Nope, fuel has no bearing on the spark, unless there is fuel soaking the plug.

    I wouldn't be calling that mechanic for any service.
