Dear List: I can't thank all of y'all enough for all of the suggestions. This morning I cleaned the plugs again, disconnected the TEMPII sensor and the throttle sensor, and the motor idled fine with no smoke or fuel smell. After several phone calls, I was able to find a parts house in Denver that had a TEMPII in stock, and she's running like a top now. I guess I know now the difference between oil-fouled and fuel-fouled plugs, as mine were apparently the latter. My K&N filter arrived today too, as luck would have it. It felt really good to take her out for a spin this afternoon, and it felt even better when I made it back to the house. Thanks again for your patience and suggestions; this list is an indispensable resource for those of us learning as we go. Joe Trussell '85 GL 'bessie' Denver, CO
