Status: offline 		Hey everyone,
I am having problems tuning my YS 1.40 DZ and I replaced the plug yesterday and noticed that the little copper washer wasnt there. Could that be my problem? Am i getting a loss of compression, or waht is happenin without that washer? I have yet to run the engine with the new glow plug but i will tonight after work. Thanks.

Adam

The washer can increase compression slightly if removed and also promote a little seepage from the glowplug.

Yet, it makes a very minor difference in the way the engine runs.
