"This wasn't suggested as an issue of theory, but one of practice, and, as stated, likely to be of marginal benefit. Some of my old motorcycle buddies from Chicago insist that this helps cold starting some of their vintage bikes in the dead of winter, for instance. If it helps, it helps, but does it help? YMMV, but without data, it's just opinion."
Theorizing, Visualizing, Practicing, Modeling, Pontificating, Opinionating , etc. You can play with semantics if you wish. If I spent my time indexing plugs, I too would say I felt or noticed a difference. Whether it be in the Antarctic or Death Valley. Especially, if I spent the time to index plugs on a 12 or 16 cylinder engine. If I spent time & money to install cow magnets on my Vespa, I would tell you I noticed a difference. Whether real or imagined. If your buddies believe it helps, more power to them. (nice pun?) However, in my original post I made allowances for antiques. Slightly. > I doubt it would a difference > unless you have a > magneto ignition system from the 1920s. "Of what possible relevance would the type of ignition system be to preventing plug wetting? Conversely, if you have too low a voltage across the plug, it won't matter if this is due to low velocity in a magneto system or low voltage in a Kettering type." Ignition has nothing to due with plug wetting unless it doesn't fire. Michael Augusta _________________________________________________________________ The New Busy is not the too busy.
