[T3] Flooding almost immediately after start.

[Dave Hall]

You can easily tell by swapping over plugs and caps.  It may be a poor plug
cap resistor.  You could compare resistance readings for the leads.  I
suppose it's just possible the distributor cap is tracking and allowing some
of the energy to be dissipated.  It might be a poor plug.

So, there is no issue with three plugs at cap having blue spark, and one
with dull orange?  Removing the latter has little affect on the engine, but
not running rough that I can tell.  So, been mulling it over, but if not a
problem, then will stop trying to figure out how to solve it. ;)


Thank you,
