I put new fuel lines, fuel tank, exhaust seals and air filter on the engine and used the short plugs and it seems ok now. I just don't know what causes those air bubbles as i guess that may be my real problem?
Hey gozer, alles goed?
I bet it was the lid of the tank....
Changing your fuel lines every race, is an overkill, I change them.... when they look to dirty..
somewhere around once a year.
as stated before, Turbo plugs don't exist in long or short version, to change compression ratio (How can somebody even come to the idea), Like TK said, the long and shorter version of plugs, are there so the plug has more or less body around the wire, which determines the plugs temperature. A shorter body means a hotter plug, because the plug's body give less cooling to the plug.....
Sometime the bodies are the same length, but there is more or less material around the wire of the plug.
Yes, the afterrun discussion.
ALWAYS use afterrun oil, even if you will use you engine again tommorrow, whatever fuel brand you use.....
A bottle will cost you around 4,- and it will last a year...
Don't forget we live in a land with a higher percentage of humidity, so corrossion in your engine is built up rapidly.....
