OK, things are starting to work now. I just got test #3 back over the net. I
had attached the original piece to the first posting. I wonder if that
affected any thing?

Now spark plugs:

Someone had asked about an interchange with an early Lodge plug which was also
a match for Champion N3.

By far the best plugs I have used recently are the Champion C61YC  (794)
range.
C59YC colder, C63YC hotter.

These fit most British cars and bikes.

I much prefer them over N3G, N3C, NGK B8EV, Bosch, etc. They are very easy to
read and have shown very good life.

The only downside is that they crack easily and you have to be very careful
putting them in or taking them out. If you crack one you will get a misfire
imediately. Sometimes it is hard to see the crack which occurs right at the
point where the insulator enters the metal ferrule. If you get a skip upon
restart, check for cracked plugs. Good luck.
