Hey, don't worry about it. We get anal retentive engineer types in here from
time to time.

They either suck back in to the wisdom we've collected over the past few years
or have eventually disappeared back into their own wrong groups.

Welcome, if you choose to stay as a member of this group...


" jls"
shared these priceless pearls of wisdom:

-
-When you lean your engine and rev it up on the ground you are super-heating
-the heads, the sparkplugs, the pistons, the valves, seats, and guides ---
-just to clean a fouled plug or two by burning the lead or carbon fouling off
-the electrode. It's best to clean the fouled plug. Of course, the problem
-is NOT with the mag.
