    Start with a compression check, all should be within 15 pounds, then check the ignition.

    With a timing light. Mark the flywheel at top dead center for each jug then attach the timing light to each cylinders spark plug. Hit the timing pointer with the beam and only that cylinder should light up when it fires.

    There is also a tester that attaches to the plug leads that check initial spark your dealers service department has one.
