The door tool looks impressive, but too difficult.
Thought about hotter plugs, but I couldn't identify where to find hotter plugs, or what the codes were.Harv wrote:G'day Finny,
Those plugs look like burnt oil to me... hard to tell in the photo, though could be "running rich" soot.
a) is it loosing any oil (dipstick dropping)? (HAVEN'T NOTICED ANY DROP.)
b) do you have a PCV connected? If so, try running it vented to atmosphere and see if the problem goes away. (NO, ONLY BRAKE BOOSTER CONNECTED)
c) are all the plugs that crappy, or only some? (ALL THE SAME)
d) how does the compression check look for dry (rings) and wet (valves and seals)? (NEED TO TEST THAT)
e) Does it give a blurt of smoke when you put your boot into it, or on long hills? (NO, HAVEN'T NOTICED ANY SMOKE)
f) what carb and jet are you running now? (ORIGINAL)
Cheers,
