You can still get the Champion L87Y plugs, but suggest NGK BP6HS. Take a good
look at the plugs already in there to see how the carbs are running. Run for
about 1000 miles without ANY changes before decifering them. You may need a
hotter plug.

As long as the compression is consistent cylinder to cylinder, then great!.

Dieseling can be caused by a few reasons. Mixture too rich and timing are the
first reasons that come to mind. Make sure these are spot on before going
further. Air leaks, timing chain tightness, head config, as well as the cam
itself are a few of the other common reasons for dieseling. I'll bet the list
could add 20 other causes.
