Hi all
just noticed that the 5hp I/C on my Rover Super Four 53 seems to be having issues starting and after pulling the spark plug off seemed to notice that it was rather sooty I regapped the old NGK and she sort of started and was thinking is there an ideal fuel mixture setting for these motors that gives cleaner running and better fuel economy or are these engines designed to run relatively rich and are particular to the CJ8 plug over NGK equivs. What I also notice that she seems to comeback slower after being bogged down or is it just a function of this engine due to its long stroke.
As an aside, would I be correct in thinking that these are one of the better briggs engines as she seems to be a rather torquey beast
