Keeping your engine well tuned will improve performance and save fuel. Performing a complete tune-up can often take care of nagging running and starting problems. It is more difficult to troubleshoot a poor running engine that is not tuned.
Thousands of "do-it-yourselfer" customers perform their own tune-ups every year and they save good money doing it.
With a factory Service Manual and the correct tools, tune-up's are snap.
The Engine Owners Manual that came with your engine has a wealth information pertaining to
tune-up and maintenance procedures and schedules.
Spark Plug Wire Kits
Spark plug wires fail with age and heat.
The end contacts can get charred, rusted or corroded.
The wires get hard and brittle and leak voltage.
Bad spark plug wires can be an explosion hazard.
Do you have a loss of power? Is your engine missing? Do you hear a "snapping" sound?
It might be time for new wires.
