[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 209942, member: 98"] Yes these plugs seem to go and go ...I have no clue how old they are ...I got them in a used motor ...they been in hooch I’d say five plus years .... Deaouse a good gas charge is I think 14 to 1 ...I’m thinking as numbers go ...a carburetor ...Fuel injection ...or boosted air into motor all want to be set up to accomplish 14 to 1 gas charge ....a real strait carb like my carb has been modded into work like a spray bottle or perfume spay bottle and with air pressure created by suction of the motor turning over...the beauty of this is when Jets passages emulsion tubes made to pre mix gas and air before getting to main suction of motor all works to create this perfect charge from idle to redline if all adjusted right using nothing but air ..in my view it doesn’t get any more high tech than this ...but there does have to be smart hands involved to tweak all things just right ...but when all things get right I’ve learned it pretty much stays there ...and the involvement of knowing your motor is priceless in keeping it going user friendly as I call it ..to me this is as high tech and reliable over all other systems ...95% of all carbs out there and reputation as not as good ..old tech ..are not even carbs there EPA mandated junk ...making it seem FI is much better and it is when compared to EPA junk non carbs that can’t be adjusted to adapt to anything ...or a lot of carbs out there are not wide enough in there adjustments to cover the whole rpm range a motor has ...but weber progressive carbs especially true Weber’s are quite the best gas charge regulator out there ...sure got the stock Honda epa cv junk oldwing carbs outdone .. they can’t adapt to anything but the narrow zone they were design for ...
