I used the 706G on the round baler this past weekend with no issues, made 55 bales. Coming home I thought I noticed a bit of a miss but it's been known to foul a plug occasionally, so I didn't think much of it. Went to start it today and it fully misses on #2. Pulled plug and it is brownish gray, not fouled. Did compression check and #2 is 20 psi. I last checked compression during tuneup in March and it was 105. So....either a stuck valve or a hole in the piston. I'm hoping a valve - the tractor is supposed to have M&W pistons in it. Oil pressure holds well at 38 psi and temp runs just below 190.
Which one do you guys think it is going to be, valve or piston, before I open her up?
