Wow.
I remember going to Mike Parti's (a Vincent and other motorcycle guru) house
years ago, and the two things that impressed me the most (besides dozens of
exotic motorcycles scattered casually around) were his huge collection of
Amal carburetors nailed to the wall (NAILED!) and a big collection of
repairable spark plugs. They used to come apart into multiple pieces and you
could refurbish them or replace bits that were done for.
Kas is absolutely right though, with a plug blaster and a little file you're
in the remanufactured plug biz. Most people don't file the center electrode
after blasting, and therefore don't get good performance.
