1 Bad Spark Plug Totally Dead Not Firing On #3 Lower Also A 41 not a 40

I haven't flown a 150 in over 18 years, but didn't you notice the dead plug
doing a mag check?

I didn't want to belabor the obvious. However, one certainly would have
suspected this, would one not?

Plug would fire when cold but not hot.

Plug is as hot as it is going to get within a minute of engine start, certainly
within the five minutes it takes to taxi to the runup area. Another explanation
