only 30% odonnell.

and it has been eating glow plugs, like 1 every 10 tanks or so

Ohh just some FYI the Mach 427 is actually a .26! The 427 on the side is simply .427 cc which comes out to .26 ci ! :nod: but yeah I'm surprised it actually still ran with that pinch!

Needing a Pinch
 
Hmm. I don't think that's right.

The piston has gone a little too far.

I think you need to get that fixed.

Time to get the sleeve pinched.
