K5 starting questions
Friar-Tuck:
Thank You guys for jumping in, I'd totally missed checking the air boot, float level and all.
Excellent points on the signal strength and float level Serafin.
Plugs:
The NGK plugs R is resistor so Br8 is resistor b8e is non resistor
More than you ever want to know about plugs from the manufacturer
NGK USA

And my Good Brutha K-Wack,
If you pull the flywheel, use some valve lapping compound to lap the flywheel to the crank.
It Only takes a few moments.
Make sure to clean the crank with solvent or parts cleaner to remove all the paste. Simply apply the compound to the snout and turn the flywheel a minute or two by hand back and forth and look for any high spots on the crank.
Thanks again guys and sounds like you are at least making progress Coop, finding the boot with a possible crack is possibly catastrophic. The bag colored plug insulator would lead you to believe alls well, but that may not be a tell all.
If I'm not mistaken the plug chop test and mixture ring is actually read at the bottom of the insulator.
Not easy to see without a lighted magnifier or cutting the plug open. Reading the electrode and strap is a science all its own.
I'll look for an article

Spray some PAM cooking spray on the bottom of those flip flops for some better kick lever grip... :-D
You guys crack me up...LOL
tcoop474:
So I don't need to be using the br8eg plug I need a b8eg?
jkindt:
US specs call for the non resistor plug, Canadian specs call for the resistor plug. No other parts differences. Can't see it making that big of a difference other than a little emitted efi noise suppression on the resistor plug.

coop, do you mean youve been bumping it as you didnt have a kicker?
