Would carb cleaner work instead of gas, just a thought.

Jags said:A points file (when the old distributors had points :lol: ) works well also. With a thin flat file you won't be rounding the corners like sand paper will. Re-gap to specs. Avoid anything that is hard metal (if possible) when cleaning the ceramic portion.
Jags said:By the looks of that plug - either your splitter burns a touch of oil or you have the carb set a little on the "fat" side (too much fuel), but it don't look bad. I wouldn't be afraid of slapping another one in the hole and run with it.
I'm pretty sure I have never changed the spark plug in my splitter. :ahhh:

Stopped by this morning and picked a new spark plug up for the American CLS Splitter plus two new plugs for the 310 & 390. Wednesday I'll be cleaning the old spark plugs and checking the gap on all the plugs.
The old plug was in the splitter for three years. :red:

3 years not that bad. Should start a little easier now!
