I just replaced the caps and rotors on my 2200, and decided to have
some fun with the old parts. I bored 3/4" holes into one cap between
the four spark plug wire terminals, and hogged out as much material
as I could and still retain the strength of the cap. I then installed
the cap and wires and fired up the engine. Using my digital camera, I
got one shot out of the seven I took which showed the spark jumping
the gap from the rotor to one of the segments...no big deal, just for
my amusement.

Good day,
I have been following the postings but may still need some info. I have an early 2200 w/economy tuning I believe,Only 1 groove in the needle.My Exhaust temps get near 1500 in cruise on cold mornings 1410 during the summer.I am uncomfortable with these numbers and prefer temps in the 1300 range.Cyl heads show just under 300.low speed adjustments are super sensitive,with temp changes.Can I fatten it up a little
Thanx Gary Aman

Gary,
You can place a small washer (1/8 diameter or a washer from a #8 screw) under the clip on the needle. That will hold the needle slightly higher in the jet and create a richer mixture. Aim for a cruise EGT of 1350 to 1400
