How does ceramic from a spark plug get into the cylinder?
It was a really old CJ6 Champion.

My guess is the seal between the steel she'll and ceramic blew out and then the center electrode to vibrate and batter the ceramic apart.
I'd seen this before on a couple old Bosch plugs.

I'd like to try a known good carb for sure as this one will only run on choke.

I'll throw her in the truck.

I'll dump the fuel and oil tanks and fill with fuel only to clean out the swapped bar oil. [emoji53]

I'm not a fan of Homelite _50 series saws. Seem pretty fragile. Gimme a C-series design any day.

Still have not got any out... was hoping to get compression
Test on a few cylinders, I think this motor toast
He drove it a year with the timing chain banging
Around .... I know it will be low , but wanted to see variance between
Cylinders. When it runs it sounds like a hand full or wrenches
In the oil pan

Find some wintergreen oil and pour it down a small fuel line around the base of the plugs. Let it sit about 30 minutes. It's the ultimate penetrant. We've used it for diesel injectors that a 5 lb. slide hammer wouldn't budge. It liquifies the carbon but when it it evaporates, the carbon hardens up rock hard so don't wait too long.

Throw that JD twin in the truck also, I have everything to fix it. It would look good in my front room.
