Time to tap the collective .net wisdom on a problem with the
Riley ....
Background: 1 1/2 litre, ~ 1000 miles on a rebuilt
engine, compression all ~ 130 psi.
Problem: *excessive* plug fouling. Am currently running
Champions, and so chiming in with the recent spark plug
thread, I'm wondering if I should switch to NGKs or
somesuch when I replace them. I've gone through the
carb, leaned it out quite a bit, but it still seems to
run rich and the plugs get quite sooty.
So I guess my question is depending on whether or
nor I have weak spark or too rich a mixture (or a
little of both), do you have any suggestions as far as
settings, etc. ?
My urgency here is I want to use this car in our
wedding on August 6th and I don't envision Nancy being
too pleased with me having to jump out & brush the
plugs whilst en route ... ;-)
Thanks in advance-
