Thanks again, the Counterweight may have been like that since I own the truck.

I arrived with the truck at my mothers place with the engine barely running at all. When I checked if it would run when cold it cranked fine, but only one cylinder fired at all. When I then checked the plugs I found some white, one black, some wet. The truck has a history of bad electric connections, if I hit a roadbump the gauges boogie for some minutes after.

I will bring her to a mechanic, but I don’t want to give up just yet and see if new spark plugs do something. I will also measure all electrical wiring involved in the ignition.

I have most of my own tools with me, but in Kiel I am part of a very large shared garage, so I don’t got some specific tools, like the vacuumeter and the timing light. I have the compression-tester though.

I am very glad to receive so much help allready.

Edit: I also will check if I put the spark wires right, but I think I did them right. I have some spare ones with me so I will replace them.
