how hot is your motor running?

I messed one up after the 2nd tank of break in but I've been running the same one ever since and Im almost through my first gallon.

you don't run the tanks to empty do you?

The only plugs I've cooked so far have been because I let the fuel tank get near empty and it leaned out on me.

hahhahaha, a good way ti fix the fuel tank is take ths spring of and tighten it, should seal better. i have one of those 12 volt batteries that are used for plane starters and they have outlets for glow starters so i axccidently pluggedthe glow start into the starter with gives 12 volts no like 1volt or somthing and all i had left of theplug was the structur. its burned the piss out of inside of the plug and you could even se where the litttle curled up wire was
