When I put in the Bosch Platinum Spark Plugs >(single pole) the RPMs went up 500 with NO other changes to the engine. >just FYI. Malcolm Thanks Malcolm!! Any thoughts on why your RPMs went up??? I just read your trip report --- nicely written ---- and haven't we all BTDT. One thing about our Westies that doesn't come up for discussion much is the 'convenience' of being able to camp in mechanics' parking lots. Was this the original, deeply buried, reason for designing the Westy??? Cheers, Doug '84 Westy Toronto, Canada |
