Is there a special tool that you carb guys use to pull your plugs? My big bore motor just arrived and the intake manifolds make pulling the plugs not very easy with conventional entensions and swivels. I never had this issue with my 1.8 becuasue of the spark plug locations...anyway, what tool and where's a good place to pick one up?Thanks...

Here's an example of the type tool that might help.

cb talls for the intakes? for some plugs it's a short exstension others a long. as you run them out i've had to remove the rachet after loosening. i need to find a plug socket that locks on the exstension in some fashion. duct taping them together to keep from loosing the socket gets old.

I use a piece of fuel line jammed onto the plug to start it and to remove it .
I only use the socket to torque it down, or break the initial bond... Then fuel hose. This way I can wiggle the socket and extension on and off without loosing the plug or the extension. I also removed the inner rubber of the socket so I dont have to fight with it. Rich |

Thanks for the tips...I'll have to see what my FLAPS has. Never realized how tight those intakes can make it. Kevin...I think they are talls, I don't have much personal background with carbs and 2ltr case motors. I'll have to post a pic.
