<html><DIV> <P>I had just purchased my westy, and was driving it a reasonably long distance home. When I complained to the local mechanic about the loss of power on occasion, he checked things over and found that I had the Air Cooled spark plugs in my 1.9 waterboxer. He claims that should cure it. Have not had any similar problems since.
