#1 Cylinder seems dead.

So many different things going on at once. Carb float isn't staying set as evidenced by site glass. The fuel regulator is adjusted all the way out but gauge reads 13 psi. The #1 cylinder stays cold even at operating temp of 180*. The cam is a solid roller and the rocker arms are pro comp rollers. The hot cylinder reads 160 and the dead cylinder reads 170. The fuel regulator did show 6 psi for about 5 minutes of run time and then after that it ran up to 13psi. Float bowl filled all the way up. Is it possible that something is causing the fuel pressure to increase causing the needle seat to malfunction in turn flooding the engine and fouling plugs?
