Thanks Roebuck and Grumpy,
Yes, I will pay more attention to the next one of these carbs I clean.
The plugs listed in the GXV120 Manual are BP5ES & BPR5ES - also W16EP-U & W16EPR-U.
I have a BP5ES in the V40 ATM and it is running great.
I have never considered all of the implications of using the right reach plug before, so thanks for that.
I did fix a Techumseh engine once that had a long reach plug in it with the piece of metal snapped off the end, there were small dints all over the piston crown and around the valves.
This has been a great learning experience fixing these Chondas, I am a bit more confident now. I think they run quiet and strong, I like them.
Today I striped down 2 x HRU195's. I will start another thread, it will help me and others I hope.
Mark.
