    • Being a 6000ft it could probably use a little adjustment but having 1 plug foul not all 4 seems suspect..... You'd think if you air fuel was off it would effect all cylinders.....   The only thing the comes to mind are counterfeit plugs from Amazon or ebay....    Where did you get the plugs ?
    • I'm having a similar problem with my Nikki Carb on my Datsun 520 pickup. My original fuel pump is working, and it appears I'm getting fuel into the bowl, but no start except with starter fluid or pouring a little gas in the carb. I took the needle valve assembly off and the little spring, plunger and needle all just fell out. Is it suppose to be loose like that and just rest on top of the float adjustment? I suppose I need to look at the float level since ya'll said that "the float gets stuck on it if it goes all the way to the bottom". That could be, I suppose, what's stopping gas from going any further into the carb. I don't have a clear cover, so I can't see the fuel level. My main concern is that the needle valve, spring and plunger only seem to be supported by the float, and there's nothing else to hold them into the needle valve assembly. Is that the way it's suppose to be? it makes for tedious work if you're trying to put it back in with the carb already installed!
    • Putin is a puss. Russia is supposed to be badass but there incompetent (like putin) in the Ukraine war, I mean military operation? Yeah yeah Ukraine is propped up by the west but GD watch how stupid the Russian soldiers are. Oh wait they are under trained prisoners. 
    • Yes there is but I don't have proof. You don't understand it was the 80s.
    • I put new spark plugs in my car about a year ago, today when driving I noticed my car was running a little rough, I figured it may have been because I haven't driven it in a while, but it got worse over time. Cylinder #3 was not contributing, and after confirming compression and spark, I threw in a spare spark plug I had as the old one seemed wet. There was no buildup of any kind on the old one, just wet with what I'm assuming was fuel. Amazingly, that one spark plug was all it took, and we're running smooth again, however it seems odd that a spark plug would foul after only a year, especially foul with what I'm thinking was fuel. I'm assuming that my air fuel ratio is a little richer than stock as I have a 32/36 carb, but is that enough to foul plugs or could something else be causing this? Would running a different type of spark plug help? (I'm running standard NGK copper plugs). If not, would I need to change out the jets in my carburetor to reduce the air fuel ratio? My ignition coil is also the original, although it still seems to function fine and the spark is strong. I live at around 6000ft so there is less air up here as well. Thank you!
