Not quite a miracle, but it got your attention. I bought a used ATV that I posted about starting/idle problems that had been giving me fits. Anyway, I put in a range hotter plug, got the carb adjusted to where it runs a little better and makes a real good attempt at a smooth idle. It didn't start the first time with the electric starter, but a pull or two with the rope and it started, warmed up, and would start with the E starter after that. The pull starter was pretty much warn out and came apart a couple of times, got fixed, etc. Finally went 100% TU and my only option was a squirt of either to help the electric starter kick it.

I've bought some "just in case" car parts over the years for routine repairs that were never needed. If I hadn't had them, sure I'd be walking
