With coolant circulating at the right temp around the engine, PROPERLY around the engine, which it will not have been doing with no stat in, you may find the centre two plugs firing a proper mixture and the colour becoming more of a match for the...

We are talking about the piston in the carburettor, as of course you are aware and are just taking the "piston"! Air filter off of course. ;)

I recently removed a lot of grass near my driveway and laid some nice gravel down. That was after digging a lot of it out and laying some type 1 or something similar, as a base. Anyway, the compactor I hired for the weekend was a lot heavier than...
