Re: A big thankyou from Woofa Express.
I was at a parts store and requested some plugs, the clerk came back and slammed the plugs onto the counter, I said no thanks and walked out. Cracked porcelain can cause problems!

Re: A big thankyou from Woofa Express.
Why would you not use the proper plugs?
Using a "reducing plug" should have been a big red flag. Glad you got her running right

Re: A big thankyou from Woofa Express.
hi Burner 31. the answer is simple. They were inexpensive and I figured since they were sold by a reputable dealer they were a sound substitute.

Re: A big thankyou from Woofa Express.
Those adapters have been around a long time. Can't believe they are that bad. I have an engine somewhere I was probably given in the 70's that has them and they were not new then.
Not that l've ever used them. |

Re: A big thankyou from Woofa Express.
I used to play around with different plugs, just putting in the 3X plugs for show and taking them out to drive home, once I got lazy drove home on them ,ran better, got better fuel mileage ,40 years later still working fine. Amortized over 40 years they are cheap.
