Re: spark plugs

What plugs are you using? What type of fouling are you seeing? Oil fouled ,deposit fouled,bridge gapped?Your problem may be carburetor or ignition related,but I can't run with that ball without more details.If your engine is the 60 degree block 175 ,it calls for Champion QL78YC gapped at .030".

brad21,<br />Are you saying underload you are getting the RPMs but cannot plane?Or does the engine rev okay in neutral,but doesn't have the power to get on plane?<br /><br />If reving okay in neutral,but a power problem exists,do the basics:spark,compression,fuel sample.<br /><br />DHP

Re: spark plugs

Like new plugs on one side sounds like you lost ignition to that side. Could be power packs, shifht interupt switch or something else. You need to determine if you're getting fire to all 6 plugs when the problem happens.
