[QUOTE="purpledog07, post: 630563, member: 22687"] You dont say what engine or carbs are fitted. If the plugs have been in a while change them for new as a matter of course. I have a type 1 engine with 34ict's on short manifolds (4 to 5" high) A 3/8" ratchet, wobble extension and a spark plug socket with UJ swivel built in does the trick. If you really can't get to them then unbolting and raising your carbs a bit may give you the clearance you need, just be careful not to bend your throttle linkage or damage your fuel hoses/pipes. Carb gaskets are fairly forgiving but if you have to remove the manifolds from the engine then get new gaskets ready to fit. They are cheap and readily available, GSF usually have them on the shelf or next day at worst. [/QUOTE]
