RE: anyone care to read my spark plugs
ORIGINAL: Tired Old Man
From what I could discern the plugs indicated things are a bit lean. The engine may have just got hot and stopped. BME's don't always fade out like most other engines, mine has stopped as abrubptly when it was running lean and hot. Moving the ignition away from the exhaust is a very good plan.

The 102 uses Stihl or Echo cylinders as opposed to the ones we run, it takes a lot more to heat it up, but as you mentioned low pressure areas and baffling allows you to set the needles for peak performance and run-ability

I was opening the high speed screw more
and more to get it rich and finally tore it down. The reeds where shattered and broken. I bought new reeds
and the engine tunes perfect now and the screws are very sensitive as they should be. Turns out it is a 105
BME. I brought up the reeds in another thread but I thought I would share here what I found.
