Seems that some of the OT posts lately have been a bit "WOT" (way off topic) in my opinion. Just to refresh our memories, here's what Kim has to say to you before you trigger the final "Post Message" window on your computer: "Posting Guidelines: These forums are for tractor-related topics. At all times treat each other with courtesy and respect. Off-topic posts are accepted on a limited basis: No politics, religious discussions or topics that contain bigotry of any kind. These usually result in unkind words and take away from the friendly, helpful nature of this antique tractor community." Now those are Kim's words and expectaions, not mine or yours or anyone elses. Personally, I find them pretty easy to live with and she's being pretty lenient. Off topic posts are pretty much welcome be it truck problems, trailer questions, the neighbor's fence or his dog or his wife or dumping your used oil. I think we all have to remember that if we visited Kims's house and she had a rule "take your shoes off in the back porch and don't chew tobacco", then we would abide by her request, after all it's her house and even though this is a democracy, living in a democracy doesn't give anyone the right to infringe on a reasonable set of rules that someone else sets up on their own property, and I consider this website Kim's property. You and I are only visitors and we don't set the rules but should do our best to abide by hers. Anyways, now that I've ranted about this please remember that any disagreement with my comments are a disagreement towards this website's rules so if you wish to take issue with them, perhaps you should contact her at the site suggestions and feedback section lower down on this homepage menu.

All these conditions can be signals that your unit is in need of a tune up. Ok, so what is involved in a tune up? You say, swap plugs and file the points....now tha
