Brief Power Loss at Full Speed

[cjohnson66]

I’m betting when you installed that plug your tool was at an angle and cracked the plug. I’ve had it happen in the past. For me the end always fell off right then.

I’d put another plug in it if the threads are good.

UPDATE: So I put a new plug in. The initial threading was difficult to get on. Once the plug started to turn, it went in relatively smoothly. Once it seated properly I snugged it in.

Fired it up and it ran fine. Ran it for 20 minutes up to 45mph and it sounded ok (didn't run it full out) -- so I "think" I'm ok. I didn't feel any power loss or lag at 45mph -- little nervous about running it full tilt but I'll need to test that once I feel a little more comfortable. So fingers crossed -- I'll keep monitoring.

I may have cracked the ceramic when I put the other plug in. But I think that it wasn't seated properly and that caused the problem.

So all good for now!

Talk about good news, bad news. Good attitude is one of the most important things in life though.
Good luck and hope you had a great Father's Day.
