Re: spark plugs
Hi guys,
To respond to the question about the 3x plugs, I fouled them too much and it was suggested to me that I get a better plug.

spark plugs
Hello again
It seems that my 3x plugs are not as reliable as I had hoped.
So, what type of solid plugs can I get at a local auto store?
Any ideas?
Paul

Re: Watter Wetter
Hi Big Hammer,
Does that mean you use water wetter instead of anti-freeze? What about using it in the winter. Our temps get down to the teens where we are in AZ
