I normaly get mine from ebay but only buy the ngk ones.They are expensive so would put meter on them and just replace the dead ones

how do you test them with a meter?

not worth changing all as all same age, save messing about changing the others later??

About an hour ish. Just be careful undoing the link rail thing, there's some fancy bakerlite type screws on top that will brake easily. Squirt plenty of skoosh on first and also make sure the area is clean. It's best to avoid clods of earth entering the cylinders

Oh yeh, a cool engine
