You've got fouled spark plugs. You've done what some spark plug
companies used to do.. that is.. introduce an air gap.(they
used to call it a booster gap. Basically, the energy is being
bled from your center sparkplug electrode before it fires.
The air gap causes your system to funtion similar to a CDI system
building voltage to such a high level that it will allow the spark
to jump even though some of it may still be being bled off
(the carbon deposits on the plug are 'shorting out'
the spark energy to a certain degree. What you've done is a technique we used to do find
out which plug was bad using the plug wires instead of
the coil wire. Give it a go !
