In a digital age !
When I first got my Model T I asked on a forum what sized imperial spanners I needed, because many of the bolts are quite large +1"
They all laughed and told me to buy a sturdy 2" adjustable spanner, which had three main uses ?
1/ Undoing any fixing up to 2" size.
2/ Hitting things with.
3/ Using as a pry bar.
Imagine my surprise when I asked were I could buy a 1" size plug spanner socket (them spark plugs is big mother fookers).
The answer rather predictably was "Use the ruddy spanner"
and it works a treat
Took them out to re gap them down to .070" from 0.090 which I hope will improve the hot starting. Pleasantly surprised from the results of my smell mixture tuning a while back
? Just as it say's , run the engine until warm, turn the mixture screw in until you can smell petrol in the exhaust gas (H&S warning it's bloody hot and you could pass out) then back the screw out half a turn. Plugs looked fine
Must stop tarting things up, but old habits die hard
