phoenixx Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 My '97 was wrecked a year ago. I bought it back from insurance & made it my project. It laid on it's side for about an hour while the towing co. got it out from under the cage. When I started it up later, it belched out blue smoke then cleared up and ran fine. It sat for a few months before I did anymore work on it. When I started it again, it ran really rough. I pulled the plugs & they all appeared to be fouled. I assumed it was from the oil that had seeped in while it was down. I replaced the plugs & drained the old fuel. It started and ran great. I took it for a 10 mile ride with no problems. Now, its acting like it has fouled plugs again. Ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenixx Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 Thanks for the threads. I'll stick a new set of plugs in ... again. I'm just concerned as to why they fouled so quickly. Maybe there was more oil lurking in the cylinder heads than I thought. This time, I'll take it for an hour or so run to make sure any residual has been burned out.
