Jakster884 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I need some help trying to trouble shoot my problem. When I put a new spark plug in it will run for about few minutes then burn the plug and shut off. I have not checked anything yet. Could it be the points or valve adjustment. I am no mechanic but can try a few different things. Any info would be appreciated. The was running fine then just went dead. My girl was putting around in 1st gear and may have something to do with it???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bustin-bs Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Agree what color is the plug is it wet? Burnt out black or brown color? Could be running rich and fowling the plug out, give us some more info Jack.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakster884 Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 Thanks for the info. I will pull one out I have about 4 to look at and I will even post a pic of one. I am thinking more on the dry side and black. But not sure 100%. Let me get the facts first. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
