evening people.
Thought id post up a photo of my 14 year old spark plugs. Changed them today with BPR5ES after researching this forum. Also chucked in a new set of leads that i grabbed from GR.
She seems to run smoother but still boggy down low, think its cuz the SUs need a tune.

and I bet if you carefully cleaned and gapped those 14 year olds they might just perform as good and longer than the "modern" BPR5ES!

OMG not the Tinker Bell :!: :shock: ...what I meant was, it sounds like spark wasn't the problem at all...SU settings may be the culprit :(

Light up the oxy and flame cook the insulators, then they will work just fine. :mrgreen:
