Unhappy: the motor of the car ran a bit irregular at low speed. Jittering a bit when starting to drive. Not normal. Looked at the bill of the last workshop visit, no spark plugs were changed, and no valves were adjusted, a thing they did about every year, or two, in NL.
Suspected a spark plug before valves, but asked them to take care of both, as it is 5-6 years ago since spark plugs and valves were looked at, still in NL. The valves did not need any adjustment. But, one of the spark plugs indeed was off. 5 spark plugs showed a white end bit, but nr 6 was dark.
It now runs again as it should. (44 years!)
Happy again. Another triumph for engineer Jansen!
Update March 2022: again trouble. The garage determined the spark plug cables were bad, resulting in insufficient ignition. Well, new spark plug cables for this 40+ year old car are not so easy to find. Apparently my engine is very long, which it is, and needs a longer version of the cables than normal. That took almost two weeks! But now the motor runs smoother than ever. Happy again again.
