Last weekend I was out and my motor died. I was able to get it to fire back up and make it 8 miles back to the landing. It sounded rough but I was able to get up on a plain. The temp got higher than normal but would drop right down when the thermostat opened. It still runs, but it sounds like a Harley. Upon further troubleshooting I discovered that cylinder 1 has zero compression but the other three have 185. I tried to look through the spark plug hole to see the piston but was unable to see.
The oil looks good, no noticeable water. It needs a little throttle to idle and it shakes(definitely only running on 3)
I don't know what to look for next, any suggestions are most welcome.
