Hi Guys

Tuned it yesterday again, did not have time to go for long ride, as my mechanic said contact point and spark plugs gap were out a bit, will see any way i came down last week end after 750km upcountry journey, while i am coming only i had that problem, will see how it goes this time ,i love to drive it on hill there it was always like a beast

But i am sure i will not be side of the road anyway, it always goes to the destination and die for some reason that is why i love this car.



thanks
Regards
sumith

NGK BPR5 is a correct plug -- See Spark plugs.
NGK BKR5 is I don't know what it is

It is not causing the problem, or all the BKR5E plugs would be fouled. Unless you are using other plugs in the other three cylinders...

#4 seems to cop the PCV fallout I've found. . . a little darker but nothing extreme.

Are you having any issues with the float level?
If fuel is pooling, it usually end up in #4 too. . .

Yes, the plug is fouled. It's not a bad plug, but something is wrong with the engine. It will foul the next plug you fit.

Now your task is to find the cause and repair it.
