It's been exactly 6 months since my last service so today I changed the fuel filter, relocated my 57i, changed the plugs and I'm just waiting on some new crush washers before whacking in some Castrol GTX and giving it a new oil filter
She's been running pretty rough lately, using up more petrol than usual, bit of a lumpy idle sometimes and the last few hot days we've had the fan's been running itself ragged after switching off, also the plugs I took out were pretty damn sooty.
My assumption is it's been struggling with airflow as it's had 6 months of bolt on k&n which gets red hot, I also tend to run the fuel down to nothing. Last service I had nice brown plugs and was getting much better economy/smoother idle etc., could there be an underlying or developing problem? It certainly feels better for the changes but wondered what you guys thought about it?
Cheers in advance
