I do like my set of OTC adjustable open ends…crescent wrenches to some. Found a matched set of three that dated back a few years. It’s a good MN company.

Thx! Let me see what I find over the weekend. I’m hoping it’s just my plugs. But when it was running I recall it starting hard which probably indicated some leaks.
