Ok, so I was shooting the temp of my headers and noticed they all sat around 430ish, ok so maybe a bit rich.... except the far left header tube was at 97 degrees, and after it had warmed up, I noticed I could hold that header pipe with my bare hand, shot temp and bam 97.

Checked for spark, that is present

Pulled the plug, and the gap looked a bit small, re gapped it and nothing.... plug was caked and nasty as well.

Next step would be to test compression right?

Any ideas what's going on? I checked and triple checked the ir temp gun...

I am gonna pop the carbs apart and look at everything and clean them really well...
