oil is actually a year old. i scribed the oil filter a year ago this month.
i've only started it occasionally just to hear it run while i was doing other things (wiring, brakes,......), 10 minutes at a time give or take...
thank you for the link about the plugs.
the first and second pic look like mine.
i was worried there were other things happening internal that would constitute a big set back...( machine shop ).....
