do these look a bit rich? im having ok idle, but missing under load. did a double tune at 300 miles on the rebuild. still gets to speed, feels like one cylinder is stuttering.

They all look on the lean side. #3 slightly less than the others

i think they look good,how old are the plug caps and condensors?

scottly · « **Reply #5 on:** July 09, 2012, 09:50:47 PM »

The porcelain is bone-white. Lean...

sorry if i'm hijacking but on the same topic, what do you think about these?

they have 1000mi on them. pulled them out while doing a valve adjustment kirk out

350 miles on the the rebuild. caps are prob stock, 2 off 76 k, 2 off 77 f, matching on coils. new condensors, points.

scottly · « **Reply #9 on:** July 09, 2012, 10:17:07 PM »

Those look OK Captain. If there are no running issues, I would continue on at warp speed. Engineering out.

im a big trekkie, btw......

Skam, your stuttering issue, plus the bone-white insulators point to a lean condition, IMHO. (waiting for someone to say "beam me up, scottly!

)

no intelligent life found here,,just spark plugs,new plugs take more time to show colour,use them longer.

The post I fixed said "just old spark plugs"; I guess my reply was just before your edit.

No. lean. (or too new) But, you never said at what load or throttle position the plugs experienced.

dave500 · « **Reply #19 on:** July 10, 2012, 12:16:52 AM »

better start tinkering with your jets then skamageon.

In the first post, he stated they had 300 miles on them...

dave500 · « **Reply #21 on:** July 10, 2012, 12:35:53 AM »

i think too much is read into plug reading,i think kirks look too cold,uneven colours,dirty slow circuit jets and or uneven float levels?

i wouldnt worry about them though.

Captain, she be a bit hard to tell without some more data. I'd recommend you do a proper plug chop. Without more data I'd only be guessing, but I think we b needing to increase the anti matter flow.

AH! i need to negotiate a deal with some miners on Rigel 12 to secure more Dylithium Crystals!

then i'll do a plug chop...Kirk Out

skamagedon · « **Reply #24 on:** July 10, 2012, 09:13:28 PM »

must be a wee bit lean. i commuted today and throttled it good... it starts after its warm, i can get to speed and cruise, but at mid throttle it stutters, or misses. it used to have 750 mac4-2 w no baffles, now its baffled reverse megaphones and chokes, or starves?
