<p>Glad you were able to find the problem, Craig. Those washers
aren't supposed to come off, but they obviously did somewhere. Did
you buy the unit new or used?</p>

The winner is....no washers on plugs. What a dumbass mistake. They
rarely fall off and o never thought to check. Too bad there is
nobody to blame other than me. Thanks guys.<br>

<div>My exact thought too. It seems more likely that a
set of projected tip plugs were installed where there
isn’t enough room for them.</div>

<div>It could be carbon floating around in the
combustion chamber but also consider that
when the engine warms up expansion might
cause zero clearance between the ground side
of the plug and the piston or valve. Check
to see what are the recommended plugs vs
what are currently installed. Also consider
high RPM might play a role as well. </div>

<p>The first thing that comes to mind is
the piston contacting the ground
terminal of the plug. But if that were
the case there would be noise, I would
think, and the starting would revert
to terrible quickly. Perhaps there is
a piece of carbon floating around
inside the cylinder that occasionally
gets pinched between the piston and
the plug? I just can't visualize
anything else. If the head isn't to
difficult to get to you might pull it
and check for something like that. Is
that a flathead or an OHV engine?</p>

got a question that’s kinda antique
tractor related (depending on how you
define antique.) I have a 1992
Ingersoll 6018 with an Onan 16hp
motor. It usually starts and runs
great. Last few weeks it’s been
terrible to start but then runs fine.
I pulled the plugs today and the gap
was close to nothing in both of them.
Opened the gap to.030 and it fired
right up. Why would the plug gap
close? I had issues with them this
spring and set it at that point.
