Well, When I put oil in the cylinders, they're #3. :) After that stuff burns/washes away and I re-clean them they are #2, but after excessive cranking they are #1. This is after setting the fuel dizz to the manner I've been told by Martin, DMCH & PJ Grady. I was told that even w/the fuel dizz set right, if there's something else keeping the engine from firing, the plugs will foul and require cleaning. I agree that whatever it is, is probably something simple. My greatest fear is that I've checked something and to my eye it's right but to someone who -really- knows, (cough -Dave- cough) it would be readily apparent what's not right. Don't ever think I'm ungrateful for your suggestions but we're getting to the point now where some folks are suggesting the same things over and over, stuff I've already done. PJ Grady told me he wouldn't touch it even if I wanted to take it there. He says because I've put my hands on it he'd have no idea where to begin and doesn't want to get involved. DMCH would probably take it to fix, but as far as phone tech goes, they've done all they can without putting hands on it. When you've stumped the experts, you're hosed up good. I'm not giving up yet though...I feel close to something. I wish I knew how close. --- In DMCForum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Dave Stragand" <dave.stragand@xxxx> wrote: > Ah... the plugs are fouling.
