Spark plug tuning 8-9-12

They last quite a while between rebuilds. So, if I can fix it, why not?

 

[Guest]

Exactly..

If you can do it yourself and you have the time, than why the hell not. DYI projects are the most rewarding.

 

[Deluge]

Completely agree.

 

[ChuenouXiao]

Isn't that what is supposed to do, clog? If it didn't you have a messed up carb.

Yea... with the stock filter in the tank and with this filter here, I think the one in the tank will clog up first huh ?

 

[ChuenouXiao]

Nah, it won't clog it up. You can clean that filter, as well. Just flush it from the fine mesh end.

With gas or solvent?

Yeah, the second filter might not ever need cleaning.

 

[ChuenouXiao]

Yep! I just replace that screen every time I rebuild a carb.

Oh... so if I remove that screw next to the primer I can take out some kind of filter huh?

 

[Deluge]

It's actually under the bottom cover. The cover that the idle screw threads into. It's a screen that's pressed into the carb body.

 

[Deluge]

With gas or solvent?

You can use carb cleaner or gas. Either will work.

 

[Guest]

With gas or solvent?

Stay away from anything stronger as it would dry out that piece of tubing.

 

[Deluge]

Should be fine, if it's designed for gas use.

 

[Guest]

Just stay away from the solvents.

Gas, carb cleaner, break cleaner, WD40 would be ok.

Lacquer thinners, arcrylic thinners, acetone would be not so good.

 

[Deluge]

And sulfuric acid. Don't use that.

 

[Guest]

LOL... Smart A$$.

 

[Deluge]

Guilty.

Here is my latest upgrade.... check it out.... aluminum steering servo mount and the 5755 mg steering post. I did this just to eliminate possible flex for my inconsistent steering... Next upgrade may be replacing my current steering servo with a new but, same steering servo to help troubleshoot.

 

[ChuenouXiao]

I also extended my vent further back behind the wing and Jetpro so that it won't splatter gas onto my car. Messy to clean up too... its not like the differential housing is easy to clean too..

That should help a lot.

Yea, its a must because its aluminum, fits the 5755 MG with no mod (no drilling require while the stock does require drilling) and give the car a more serious look. I'm all about serious look and serious performance It's a more professional piece to install instead of drilling here and there.... clean cut is what I mean
