That's what I was afraid of... I'm going to have to pull those plugs
again once I geet a gapping tool. Just got the correct gap a few
minutes ago: 0.70 to 0.80mm. I got the Bosch Platinum with one ground.

Cheers,

Swapped out the little vacuum hose to the regulator and all appears to
be well.

Ooops, spoke too soon! It was better for a day and now it's back to as
it was. Perhaps I jarred the regulator when installing he vacuum hose
and it worked for a day and hen went back to failing.

sigh. next I guess I try a new regulator ($300).
