Post by twinrock »

simplest solution would be to change oil temporarily to get the jetting right, then swap back to red oil.

Then do another chop to see what a perfectly jetted red plug looks like :)


as for why its turning red Im not sure but cars running red dyed fuel have the same issue.
the following 4T propaganda was brought to you by your local 2T lobby group...

"whats that youve got there?... a 450? "
yeah...
"what cereal packet did that come out of? "
huh?...
"I just wanted to know, because theres nothing worse than finding a piece of shit in the bottom of your corn flakes. "
