[Spridgets] Fouled Plugs

[Peter Caldwell]

Chris,
       The colour is no longer a reliable identifier. I would trust 
what Burlen sent you. The waxstats weren't over here, much, but they 
were different originally.
         When I set or balance carbs, I start by bringing both jets 
level with the bridge, then run the nut down 2 turns. If you can get 
them flush, then they should be fine. Someday measure the hole, and 
make sure it's .090" (they also can be .100")

I'm guessing Frank does too. I suspect he didn't catch that one of 
the jets wasn't all the way flush.

         Ignition issues can foul 2 plugs as well..... just sayin'   ;-)
