Spark plug tab bent
My gas Club Car sounds horrible and won't run. I pulled spark plug and tab is bent. How should I trouble shoot?
Thanks Brett |

Yer so old now that dirt calls you pappy!!!! Can you tell if the piston is moving up and down? What lead up to this? running before? If piston is moving then next is to check valve movement and check clearance (.004 intake and exhaust). Could have carbon under valve or maybe a seat came out. If Piston moving and valves ok next pull the head for an inspection. Keep us posted. And he's older than me!!! . |
