Re: My spark plugs are wet

Hi, Bobbo.<br /><br />Lots of good advice and analysis in this thread.<br /><br />A few thoughts.<br /><br />1. Plugs are wet. When you turn off the ignition to stop the engine it continues to turn for a few revs. That pumps fuel/air into the cylinders that does not get burned. The plugs will be wet in many engines.<br /><br />2. Black, sooty/oily plugs are a sign of incomplete combustion or "cool" combustion. This could be from an over-rich mixture (covered well above), not reaching designed operating temp (also covered well), too cold range on spark plugs, excessive idling time or too much oil in the fuel.<br /><br />3. So-called "cheap" oil, as long as it is TC-W3 is priced according to who labels and sells it, not on quality. The idea that the more you pay the better the oil is a myth. <br /><br />Follow the advice above; decarb, set mixture according to the book, do a link 'n' synch according to the book, use a hotter plug, etc. and you should be okay.<br /><br />Good luck.

Re: My spark plugs are wet

a faulty choke/enricher can deff. cause a flooding<br />condition which would create these problems.

Re: My spark plugs are wet

i dont know my rpm at wot. You mean that my choke could cause the problem?<br /><br />when i press the choke button it happens noting with the unit that i think is the choke. it is an round thing sice of an battery, with a "button" below that i think should go up when choke is puched. i will check it this weekend if it is 12v at the cords that lead to the choke. i thought that this choke gave a litte push of gas when the butten is pushed. so if it is stuck it woldnt cause any problem.
