[Coleman, David]

And come to think of it, I had found a bad wire too.

Thanks David!

Just so that all are clear ... the engine runs "fine" I only pulled two plugs, but I expect that I'd find the other 6 look as nice and clean as the one I pulled from the second cylinder back.  BTW, I did swap the fouled plug into the cylinder that was not fouling the plug ... engine started just fine.  

Now that I'm thinking about it ... the fact I don't hear a spark makes me wonder if the problem is the ignition wire ... originally I was thinking injector ... and I was going to do a compression test ...
