No start

.. Truck has spark.. Will not crank off brake cleaner.. Has compression. Fluid levels in check.. Has not been cranked since Monday, always been a hard starter.. Won't even try now.. Was down due to spark plug tube orings leaking bad making a lot of smoke in the plant.. I replaced plugs and o-rings and cleaned wires now no start... It didn't wanna fire up before the work so I worked on it where it sat..

Cleaned wires with electrical degreaser ( as little as possible and this was yesterday)

I pull plug and there is fire jumping across the gap.. Could it not be hot enough?

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
