Default Need an answer QUICK.. LOOK!!!!!

My engine wont run it turn over and then will run and then stumble, we pulloed the spark pulgs and number one the little notch was hitting the electrode. It sounds like the engine is knocking. What could the problem be??? We gapped the sparkplug but it still wont run..

Engine kocking is never good.. did you miss shift or anything recently? Knocking from the engine usually means something in one of the cylinders is wrong.. like a bent rod or something.. which would suck for you!

GAP BRIDGING
Symptoms: Combustion deposits lodge between the electrodes. Heavy deposits accumulate and brige the electrode gap. The plug ceases to fire, resulting in a dead cylinder.
Recommendation: Locatoe the faulty plug and remove the deposits from between the electrodes.
MECHANICAL DAMAGE
Symptoms: May be caused by a foreign object in the combustion chamber or the piston striking an incorrect reach (too long) plug. Causes a dead cylider and could result in piston damage.
Recommendation: Remove the foreign object from the engine and/or install the correct reach plug.
Could be either one, I would recommend new plugs, get OEM that are pre-gapped. Get light into the cylinder if you can and see if their is anything...
