Removing Spark Plugs or not....
 

We just had a 60 deg. F day here in Virginia. Rebuilt the Mercarb for my 5.7L on a '96 Talari. Hope it works as I can't try it for another month. Took 2 hours total and the rebuilt kit was about $60.

Up next, went to pull the spark plugs to see how they looked. I've only had the boat for 6 months so dont know the history. Well thats where I stopped. I cant get a spark plug socket on the plugs because of the exhaust manifold. Was I clueless onthis??? Needless to say I didnt have gaskets for the exhaust manifold. Any advice? Thanks, Walter
