Dell(wa),
I don't care what anyone says about you,u r the man-i changed the plugs on my 8n side mount 1950 12v when you wrote "weak sparkies".She fired right up and smoked a bit but run'd fine.So glad to have her alive again.Mr hcooke i had plenty of fire with the tip you gave me with the old spark plug.thanks,Let me ask you all this,Why did my plugs turn oily,i just changed plugs in dec.09'.?

You may be ahving problems in the cylinders. I would do a compression check. First dry and them with oil in the cylinders. Your oil rings may be bad.
Good luck

Sounds like your old plugs were fouled. Were they AL 437's? Champion plugs foul rather quickly in these engines.

Ken.......dunno why your old plugs looked oily; sooty maybe. Maybe even wet with gasoline. That is WHY we recommend AutoLite 437's as they BURN the oily contaminates OFF better than Champions. Its called sparkplug heat-range.

But seriously, ennytime you have "starting issues", CHANGE yer sparkies to new clean dry 437's. ......Dell, yer self-appointed sparkie-meister

No offense, but I have a set of champion H-10c's in my tractor that have been running well for 5+ years and still look good.maybe I'm just lucky or?---lha
