When I took the Gentry out for a run recently, I noticed a slight misfire or hesitancy when accelerating away. Normally when this happens, it will clear once the engine gets up to temperature, but on this occasion it didn’t. The following day, with a fresh set of Champion N9Ys at the ready, I took out the spark plugs. They didn’t actually look too bad though, so instead of changing them, I dug out my trusty small wire brush and cleaned them thoroughly. Once satisfied that they were thoroughly clean, I carefully reset the gaps and then stuck them back in. This time, once the car had warmed up properly, it ran like a dream.
Thinking all the Gentry problems were over, a few days later I set off nice…
