Thanks to all who contribute

Was there really a day before the dawn of the online forum? :lol: , of course there was, and........
A one to two year project would have taken a lifetime, or you would really have to of confided in the advice of your neighbour, who's own project was at least smoking or making sparks, so at that rate he was decades ahead of your basket case. :shock:
At witch point you would have to sit and listen to 3 hours of terrible beta and lots of B.S just to find out what kind of plugs he's running, and the gap ( if his plugs had any electrode left to gap? )

And the worst part about that whole scenario, is that two hours into the conversation on plugs and gap, you would be drinking the same piss warm beer you started with because you were to cheap to bring over a small cooler with a few beers each ( as you delicately extract the much needed information ) because you spent your beer money on a gap gauge that your hoping to use with the info you are currently extracting.

What I am trying to say is good Job everybody, and thank you.

P.S keep it coming. 8)

The forum is great. Living in a different time zone at the bottom of the world means I can post a question before bed and the answers and pix are waiting for me next morning. The only problem is with winter approaching it's too tempting to spend night time in front of the screen rather than out in the (unheated) workshop.
