Re: Shattered spark injector
Hi Revo,<br /><br />Spark injector? Spark PLUG?<br /><br />This little guys are usually VERY tough. can't imagine any operating condition that could have casued the problem. More likley, when the cowel was removed, the plug got "cracked" by a "wack" of some sort.<br /><br />If you can leave your hand on the exhaust cover plate, without getting burned, while motor is up to temp, your probably not overheating. Even if it is over-heating, this would not likely cause the plug to carck. I think that if temp were enough to crack plug, the motor would likely melt-down.<br /><br />I'd just replace the plug and keep an eye on things.<br /><br />Was the correct plug installed? plugs come in different sizes, shapes and lengths. It may just be that your old plug was sitting too deep in the cylinder and got WACKED by the piston. but if that were the case. It would have happened as soon as the motor were turned over. <br /><br />The more I think about it, the more I think that the plug got WACKed when the cowel was off.<br /><br />Good Luck<br />HAVE FUN!
