oil fouled plugs. We used to take a piece of wire coiled around the plug wire, not comming in contact with the metal anywhere ,fashion it so it held the end of the wire or connector a slight distance away from the tip of the spark plug thus causing the fire to "jump" to the plug ,the plug being oil soaked would fire and quit missing out on that cylinder. Maybe the rings wernt seated yet on this newly rebuilt engine. worked on badly worn tractor engine. Would'nt think all plugs would be miss firing tho.
