I am curious if anyone has found 90 degree spark plug boots that fit onto the plugs with carbs and the CFR throttle linkage.
When the wires come straight up, out of the shrouds they have to bend and rest against the bottom of the carbs. I am guessing there is some leakage of the spark with the wires rubbing like that. Any ideas? |

Any ideas? You can temporarily slip some corrugated flexible wire protector tubing over that wire where it crosses the intake. I've got it on several of my wires where they are passing close by any metallic portion of the engine. |
