Never underestimate the little things

[Tim Kurcz]

After cranking compression & leakdown tests, bore scope cylinder and reed inspection, timing check, and several re-jetting exercises, a starting/idling problem with my turbo Johnson was finally resolved. I would have saved several hours work and had more fun if I'd only paid more attention to the "little things" while looking for a bigger problem. Have never seen this in all my years. No external evidence of gas leakage and no carbon traces...just loose! Go figure.

Never saw that before, good find!

Never had that happen with an NGK but I have had a Champion do that.

I had one like that in our race bike with an NGK.
A rare occurrence indeed, your is only the second I've seen.
I check em regularly now.

Doh! and double Doh! Never seen an electrode go away like that.
