lol no i didn't I wouldn't know what to type !
hehehehe
so it is a hotter plug ! AHHHH SO !
and they were black very black ..... the owner said he had to replace both floats in the carbs as the old ones went away.... and that may well be residue from when the carbs were messed up.... I should change them to proper plugs and see what color I get !
....
in my experience retarding the timing just a little doesn't change much
you gott'a go a fairly long way like 5 degrees or more to feel it on a bike
and I'm not going to go that far if I can help it....
but actually I think if I get the bike how it is supposed to be I shouldn't have to do that to begin with, triumphs start 1st kick anyway, and they can be ratted out wore out machines and still start like that. 15 years of sitting has it's toll on a bike and getting her back into working order may take some doing !
.....
at least I don't have to LOWER IT eh ? HAHAHAHAH !
