Alright guys and gals, I pulled a huge rookie move. I was in such a rush when changing my plugs that I never compared. Turns out they were wrong . I'm an auto body techs and have turned many wrenches but what you think I should do? I replaced the plugs with the right ones and the engine runs and sounds good but each piston has a face on the top of it.... Luckily it's a two stroker so valves aren't an issue. 20180813_162603.jpg
 
drive it like you stole it....
 
That's what I was thinking!!
 
Run the hell out of it.
 
Alright so today I went out and she ran so good!! Until I shut her down. Then it wouldn't idle unless in warm up mode. So I came home, pulled the new plugs, re gapped them and it's running again . I have this feeling that someone tuned the carbs out of water and when in water it is just enough work for the engine that it dies. What do you think?
