I have a 1971 Tartan 30 with an Atomic four; it ran well most of the summer, half way through our trip to Maine it developed a problem most notable when starting the engine. It was hard to start; when it did start it ran on two cylinders, when I pulled the plugs the first two plugs from the transmition side of the engine were loaded with fuel. It now does this every time I start it. So I checked to see if I am getting spark. Yes it has a nice blue spark. It is getting fuel because the plugs are wet with fuel. At this point if I dry out the plugs or swap them with new ones the engine runs reasonability well and will run like this all day.
This spring I put the following new components on the engine: spark plugs, cap, rotor, wires, new carburetor, rebuilt the fuel pump, coil and a new fuel tank. A few years ago I put the indigo electronic ignition on the engine.
Does anyone have any ideas what is wrong?
Thanks, Noel.
