Sounds good to me too. [img]i/expressions/beer.gif[/img]

I'm an engineer, but have only had one course in thermodynamics and that was in 93...... About the only thing I remember from that class was the act of registering for it, lol. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

Default Spark Plug Change at 41 Degrees F....

I went out today, and took a look at the foremans spark plug. Yep, dry foul. It still works fine, but its definetly darker and sootier than summer use.
I rode it around last weekend, and the high temps were about 20. I only drove for an hour, but the fan ran more in that hour, than it ran all summer combined. Theres so much tire slippage, and so much higher rpm effort to bust thru the snow banks, and tow a sled with 3 kids in it, that the old foreman is getting a work out.

Im gonna have to try the hotter plug.

Thanks to reconranger, for bringing up this topic....I enjoyed this bit of education , .....I think I miss being in school, which was a few decades ago.

I like learning, but I try to never let my schooling interfere with my education, lol. 22yrs in school will just about do it for me. If I haven't learned what I need to know in that amount of time, I doubt I ever will. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

Hondabuster-
Where in Minnesota are you at ?
I am from Bismarck North Dakota. We barely have any snow and I noticed you said you were busting through snow banks. You must have gotten hit by the storms that passed us by.

I have been contemplating getting a cylinder head temp gauge for the foreman. Westach makes one that slips over the spark plug threads before the plug is installed. Just to see what goes on with this beast.
