What have you done to your square lately??

Don't you remember heating up your fouled plugs on your little dirt bike or lawn mower?

Same thing

Its the same as what a self cleaning oven does. It just burns all the deposits and oil to a crisp which falls off and leaves the plug nice and clean. It still looks whitish from the ash but when you put them back in after re gapping them as well they will work as well as brand new.

If the electrodes are disintegrated then you need new plugs but as long as the v on the tip is there and the arch is good no need for new plugs.

You could test them after to make sure they work as there is always the possibility of it being a dead plug.

Nope
I wire brushed mine, worked pretty good too
Never had a torch til last year either

Tried messing with mine, won't idle under 1000 and dies in gear, if trying to Rev it up before switching it backfires through intake and dies...Truck is about to have a for sale sign on it, it's been sitting since October

Bad gas?

 

[silverscottsk10]

Shouldn't be, put 5 gallons of new in it the other day and the gauge was on e

 

[Slick_james187]

Fixed gear indicator, polished gauge lenses, and installed a tach. Thinking about what else to do today.

Pulled the back glass, sash, inner and outer weather stripping only to discover LMC sent me all the wrong parts.

Took an old "road work ahead" sign that was hanging on the garage wall, some 1" x 1" aluminum angle, pop rivets, and left over ceramic aluminum header paint and threw together a fan shroud for my fan. I was running a 16" puller and a 14" pusher that were offset front and back of radiator to cover most of the surface area. Looking at the engine side, it just didn't look right with the fan sitting on one end of the core. Now everything looks symmetrical and the one fan is pulling air thru the entire core. Until we get our 100+ temps to see how well she cools with the one fan, the pusher is staying off for the time being.

Also added some thermal wire and boot protectors to help protect those high $$$.$$ wires. I took the crappy Billet Specialties valve covers off and put the old Edelbrock's back on. The billets would stain and scratch too easily so was a pain to try to keep clean.

That looks slightly better than the large industrial zip ties I used to help mount my radiator when I bought the wrong one and my mounts wouldn't work.

Looking good sir! Great job on the shroud!

 

[CoggedBelt75]

Thanks! Just trying to address a few detail issues that I have needed to do. With less than 20 bucks in it (the sign was "obtained" legally), I thought it was worth a try.

 

[mistaake]

Gave it a tune up and its SO much smoother. Lesson learned: 15 year old and unknown mile cap, rotor, and 3 mixed brands of plug wires in various stages of decomposition = a truck that runs like crap!

 

[silverscottsk10]

Added octane booster....it drove down the road!!! Now who can teach me how to work the vacuum gauge so I can set my timing right

 

[GTME94]

Started mine after sitting for 3 and a half months. No issues. Went and picked up our boat out of storage, about a 30 mile trip each way to get the truck loosened up after sitting. Tomorrow is about a 180 mile trip pulling the boat to sell it, then in two weeks will be the same long trip pulling our new boat back. The new boat is almost 2 thousand pounds heavier so it will be a little more of a workout.

Thinking about a remote start system
Any suggestions?
All I want is remote start
