Unusual rough running.
« on: June 09, 2016, 03:29:50 PM »
The darnedest thing happened on my way in to work today.  I was nipping on down the highway when the engine started to stumble.  I thought it was a bit short mileage to be hitting reserve, but switched anyways.  Didn't fix the problem and I thought for sure I'd stall as I stopped at a light.  I'm looking around at the fuel tap and so forth and realized the spark plug lead had come loose!  Stuck it back on and continued to slice and dice my way to the office.  Think I need to make sure the leads are tight enough.
