I agree with everything 1 Owner says. I sympathize with the number one cylinder plug. I can get mine off without loosening the alternator, but it is like getting a part out of a puzzle. One my non-running sonett, I have to remove the screwed-on snap cap on the end of the plug to do it. But, for those who just can't get it out, it seems like you should be able to loosen the alternator, remove the belt from the pulley and swing it out to its furtherest rotating point.
Regarding the poor running, does it run poorly at idle? If not, it is likely that your acceleration jet is clogged. In the Solex carburetor, that line is long and very small. With a diagram of the carb, you can used compressed air and see if you can clear the line. Otherwise, you're looking at a rebuild.
Of course, it could be a lot of things, so start with the easy fixes first. Replace the plugs (as you are doing), replace the rotor and points, use carb cleaner in the gasoline, replace the distributor capacitor and THEN, if no change, tackle the carb. That's my layman's opinion. I'm not a mechanic. -sonett
