Either your timing chain has jumped a cog, or a valve is stuck or burnt. Best way to check the timing is with a timing light. If the mark jumps all over the place, your chain is no good. To check the valve, do a compression test. Good luck. Let me know how you make out.

Try tapping your starter motor and solenoid gently with a hammer. If the brushes or contacts are worn out this will give you a few more starts. Remember to only tap on s solid part and stay well clear of the electrical connections or you will damage something. If that doesn't work you have to start troubleshooting by testing for a voltage on the solenoid when you turn the key on to the start position and work back from there.

Have the thermostat tested first. You can do that by observing if the fan turns on when the fan exceeds your normal running temperature. You may want to check the radiator cap it may be worn out that some steam may come out through it causing temperature to increase in the process.

I do not care much about rascal, but I considered the Finnish a better person, someone from my same legacy to say.

Hi there If you have oil on Number 1 plug and not on the others then you have a bad plug/bad HTlead/cracked distributor cap or badly worn piston rings,burnt out valve or valve seal in number 1 cylinder. So put in new plug and try it if engine runs rough then check out all the above.
