<P>Dave - your spark plug consumption is not usual, in fact it is extraordinarilly high. Several things pop to mind. It could be a too rich mixture, meaning your carbureator needs adjusting. Or it could be bad rings allowing oil into the combustion chamber. Hope for the first.</P></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>Subject: [Alberg30] spark plugs
<DIV></DIV>Date: Mon, 12 Aug 2002 13:04:56 -0400
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>I have been chaning the spark plugs on the A4 when the engine seems to want to "miss"m a bit or when the engine seems to loose power slightly. This always solves the problem. I have gone through 3 sets this summer so far. I am using the J12 plugs as was suggested on the list serve.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Is this usage normal? The engine runs very smoothly when the plugs are new. The old ones are badly carboned. When I got the boat It came with severa sets of what I took to be old and cleaned spark plugs.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>If it is not normal - and I guess it is not - what could be the cause or causes and what might some remedies be?
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Thanks. Being gone a month makes catching up on the list traffic a big job. As always, the info is interesting and very helpful.
