Thread: Thoughts on jetting.

Denny,

There was a washer on the outside, but there was also a burr where they bent the rod. I filed that down and smothed it out. I re-bent the rod so that it just barely touched when the primaries were closed.

I just went out and drove about five miles. I didn't change the plugs, and they're still black, but all the sooty look is gone. The electrode tip is clean, and the tip of the insulator is whitish-gray.

On the way back home, I hit it hard through first and second. Holy-bleeping-cow! Night and day compared to yesterday. No bog or hesitation, it just went. It surprised me so much I let off the throttle WAY before I intended. With the big tires and the ladder bars, it doesn't slip very much - it just goes.

I'm going to get a spark plug cleaner from Northern Tool and clean up the three sets I fouled up trying to find this problem. Then, I'll have spark plugs for life.
