Fixes for difficult starting.
andrewlandon67:
I finally got the spacers installed last weekend, and after a few days of tinkering and driving, I think the issue's gone. I made two stops on my way home from work yesterday, both after the engine was up to temp, the first was for 5 minutes and the second took about 10. Both times the car was able to hot-start without me touching the throttle pedal, which never happened even with the Kadrons I had on my old singleport. It was an incredible feeling to crank the engine for a few seconds and have it immediately spring up to just below the normal idle of about 1100 rpm.
Edit: I wanna add, it was immediately able to drive off with no undue sputters/coughs like it used to get as well.

Great result. :)
I have to admit that I have tried them myself and not noticed a difference. I am sure it all depends on the details of the situation.

I have had starting difficulties before, reading Jim Rattos recommendation NGK iridium plugs. One quick turn of the starter its away.
I have been playing with my jet combinations still starts first time. Seems to be more economical, on our blast through Holland/Belgium to EBI I was on one less petrol stop than most of the others. Maybe that has something to do with running 48 idfs rather than IDAS ;D

While I'm sure that the cooler temps this week have helped, as well as a more cautious right foot, I'm just glad that my bug is able to be an occasional errand-runner again. I'll definitely look into those plugs the next time those come due, but for now I'm happy with it as-is.
