Stumped on No Start Condition for Weeks Now

I pulled 5 plugs that are easy to get to. 3 require loosening exhaust. They looked ok. E85 keeps everything too clean it’s hard to see much. Gaps are good. I think the center post boot may have slipped off while under that hard pull. Going to shove a scope in it this weekend. You’d think putting new wires and replacing a smoked cap on it would make some difference but it didn’t. I tried a lot to start it on the road because I had a jump. I still feel it’s flooded but no way I mean I have ring gaps of like .045” and a 100,000 mile standard size bore.

If you think it has fuel still in the cylinders I’d remove all the plugs you can get to and crank it over with them out. Any left over fuel will blow out and you should be able to get it to fire with 5 clean cylinders.

Id also replace the plugs you can get to. That cap was failing long before it failed and it may have one or more of the plugs to fail. Weird things happen to other parts when stuff like that fails.

Of course I could be totally wrong and probably am. It was the best I could think of lol
