DJ194950 Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) Overall appearance of inner plug area says loudly, Water. The hood center strips leak right over the spark plugs! leaking plug gaskets contribute. DJ Edited April 5, 2019 by DJ194950 sp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David T Posted April 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 @Mark D not sure. I bought the car last year. From the tags it hasnt run since 2010. The previous owner was trying to restore but ran out of time/$. @DJ194950 okay. Well hopefully it didnt damage motor. I put some marvel mystery oil in cylinders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCrombie Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Green would be corroded copper. Copper core plugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PT81Jan Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Is just one spark plug green or also the others ? what about the carburetor`s float bowl ? My son was asking me, if I had an idea to get his motorcycle running, which he had not started for a year. We removed the spark plugs and opened the carburetor. I never have seen so much green in a fuel system and motor before ! Looked like an algae sea in a village pond. Remnants of the bioethanol fuel ...!
