Brand new glow plug #3 today. Still Engine does not idle, stay running, or keep tune. It is spitting fuel and burning fuel like no other. Settings are the same as last time I wrote. I bought 2 Plugs from Tower and they are 97T. They both went in 5 tanks each. I dont know why or what is going on. Now I lost some Compression to from this. I couldnt turn it over at all really by hand, and now it is a little easier. My buddy could not believe his eyes either. He has seen this Mil run and go strong. I dont know what happened or why this is going on. But I am very upset that I cannot race this weekend. little happy I didnt go away and race this past weekend. Would have been a long time wasted. Well Dont know what to do from here. Try another plug maybe? I just dont know. Stuck, confused, and most of all worried.
sounds like you might be rich on the bottom and lean on the top end... which would cause no idle and a burnt up plug.....
so does the engine clean out on the top end??? when you drive does smoke come from the exhaust all the time??? a nice trail during the straightaway pulls??? if not top end is lean.. if yes then you should be good or close..
lsn..... when you come into the pits does the motor come right down to idle?? 5-8 seconds before idle??? or longer than 10 seconds to idle down??? lsn should be about 5ish seconds to come to idle.. after 10 second should be getting rich.. by 15 seconds will be hard to pull away from the pits due to being overly rich.... let us know on these questions and we will be able to help. jeremy
