I am at the beginning stages of getting my ‘72 225 /6 running. It starts and runs but it is shaky and won’t idle. I pulled the plugs and checked the plug wires for resistance. All of the plugs had a nice tan color to them except for cylinder #5. It showed signs of being really lean, It was ghost white. My first thought is to check the valve adjustment in hopes that the intake valve is out of adjustment. Beyond that, what should I look for?
