Hello,
Should I, or May I, use a hotter plug with dual carbs? I have NGK B6ES in there right now. One range hotter would be a B5ES, Right? I seem (or think) to remember with my 67 BSA that NGK gets hotter the lower the number. 1.7 liter with dual weber 34 ICT. 009 dist with regular old points. Many thanks to you. |

QUOTE However, did you ever determine why you were running rich? Yes, it was an old 2.0L 6 with old Webbers so it did burn a bit of oil. I leaned out the carbs a bit but is just ran better with hotter plugs and a bit more fuel/air mix! I was planning on putting in a new motor so it was just about how it ran for now! |
