<Sighs deeply>
I read that suggestion on another forum (after go ogling spark plug no gap). On reflection I agree with you guys - it's nonsense.
I've been struggling to get my (calm yourself shug) rubber lined plug socket tool off.
The bit of rubber tube solution is inspired and I shall fabricate such a sheath tomorrow.



Might just try replacing the plugs again and see what happens.

No compression on number 1. It has, perhaps, thrown a valve - further investigation to follow tomorrow...

Anyone got a spare engine they want to sell me? Where's that King K chap gone to?

Sell you a VX220, faster than your 135R even without sticky tyres and expensive suspension? :wink:

1. You are misremembering events.
2. Of course it is faster. It goes.

I might have just the engine for you ... especially if your cylinder head is repairable!

Cheers,
