I have had this happen twice - in two different engines. Once my fault - once the fault of the quickie oil change place I don't ever go to anymore. The one that was my fault was the night before a trip - taking the advice of some friends I put an old spark plug in the hole and it worked perfectly. I later bought an oversized one with a piggy back and it worked fine as well. The other has not been fixed yet - it is sitting in my garage. I need to fix it before selling it. Anyone need a godd 2.1 engine ?? Thanks, Jeff '85 GL (Gertie) '78 Bus (Melissa) Patty's Bus |
