CARBON_ROD Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 This afternoon i decided to get my record breaker out of moth balls, she's powered by an old 61 merco ,BUT i hasten to add it's been rebuilt and runs very sweet indeed ,Now the question does she take a long reach plug or a short reach ?I rather tend to think a long reach would do the trick ,I had her running up this after but every time i took the glo start off she stopped ,it's got a shot reach in at the mo so what do you recon ? cheers TDEdited By David Ashby - RCME Administrator on 24/04/2011 15:36:05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatMc Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Definitely long reach. Very few engines take short reach, only one I've ever come across is my vintage KB15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Lubbock Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 definitely a long reach plug-is your fuel left from when you mothballed your model? if so it may have some absorbed some water which will give the symptoms you describe. A long reach plug, maybe a fairly hot one if running on straight fuel, will increase compression slightly which should also help hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
