Good excuse for *cough* washing the RT mobile!

On 2nd thought - the story might be fun.

100K+ miles of dirt accumulated.

..... the run almost ended last week when I had the dreaded "Spark Plug Back Out" issue! As luck had it, I was packing tools and dug in to it in the parking lot of a local lunch stop (Jambo on Everett Mall Way) before heading back to the office. Not a mile too soon either ....... things are good for now
I can see how people are losing their engines to this problem since the miss fire was very subtle and only at idle. The plug was loose enough to let enough hot gas escape to ruin a coil (and the plug). Good thing I had the "extra engine" sitting around to rape for parts after limping it home

IS this "spark plug back out" thing a common issue? Why have I not heard of this phenomenon?

... you go first so I can Cut&Paste yours and change the name (pretty much how I got through school but I'm a little out of practice)

Come to think of it, maybe not a good idea to document my mileage cause then I won't be able to dial it back before selling it to Mufkin.com
