LOL!!!

The simplest explanation is most often the correct one.

Dont feel too bad. We've all done something like that before.

Andy,

I use a 13/16 box end wrench for the lower spark plug, it's a lot quicker than dropping the pan out of the way.

Now, I have a few questions. At WOT, it takes some time to get up to speed... Like I wont be pulling a skiier anytime soon. Is there anything I can do about this?

Also, after running wide open for a while, then I was at just above idle going through a channel, then went to neutral it stalled and was fairly hard to get going again. Any ideas?

Lastly, I was throwing 2 rooster tails at full speed (I would guestemate 25-30 mph). Is this normal?

Thanks
