<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>

<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.

<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.
