I’m using a J6-C plug with a .030 gap. It looked to me that there was not an O-ring on the valve, just a metal skirt, and the skirt and valve seat both look great. Does that mean that some Martins didn’t use O-rings on the valves? As far as the condensers, I’ve been checking the spark by putting the plug in the boot and connecting a ground wire to the plug and the motor. I thought that I should check spark with a checker I have that shows the spark while under compression, simulating cylinder compression. I’m thinking you guys are on the right track about checking the condenser. I need to order an impeller from Russ anyway. Maybe I can temporarily use an OMC condenser to try things out. Thank you for the help, and I will let you know how it turns out. I was planning on entering this motor in an upcoming "how slow can you go" contest.
