no compression?

crap leads, buggered dizzy crap plugs! check the ignition system before having a compression test done as it may be just that and no HG failure

well if i take the plug out and connect it to the lead that goes to that cylinder it sparks fine

so it cant be the dizzy cap, and the lead works ok

while running i can take out the, no one lead and plug and its still which tells me something is happening in the cylinder

what else could it be, and is there any other tale tale signs of lack of compression!!

try a different lead on it first mate (ie swap it with no 2 on both the dizzy and plug) to test it, of its still doing the same it looks like a compression issue

a compression issue is that expensive and does it involve!! is it a head off job then
