Try the magnet, then kill the ignition and turn the motor over just to make sure its gone, finally do a compression test. Clean those grimy paws!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You probably found that plug somewhere and are trying to convince dad that the engine is bad and you need that upgrade you've been begging for. Not a bad plan!!!

Is this the first time you ran the boat after the winter?? I mention this because you talked about fogging fluid. I always change plugs for the new season. I first start the motor on the old plugs to get all the fog out, then put a fresh set in.

Not that that's what caused the problem. I would think it was poor fuel. Is this last years fuel you are running? I will usually cyphon it out and put it in the truck or something. if not i will baby the boat until all the bad fuel is out. I had a plug that looked the same a couple years ago. Ended up being a bad batch of gas that i bought. It never hurt the motor....must of blew out the exhuast...but i did change the oil just to make sure.

They are the platinum ones....

I always bite my nails....

Boat hasnt been run this year yet....When we winterized, we fogged it, so that is why it looks so rich (at least I think so?) They were put in there mid August, most likely less than 50 hours.

Don't bite your nails. Some ladies like it when you gently use them on their ni....


My guess is that the plug is way too hot and that you vaporized it.

I have been sexually frustrated all my life then. New pickup line: I have been told that biting my nails is a sign of being sexually frustrated...Could you help me break the habit?
