!! I thought those wires were supposed to get hot. That is good to know.
I had the plugs upgraded on the 75 I had and it made a HUGE difference, that's why I was figuring while I was replacing them I might as well improve it. It seemed like a job I should be able do myself as well; remove old plugs, put the "oversized" pencil ones in, attach new wires, don't reattach ground wire. Get the kit from m*source to idiot proof the experience.

#2 needs to be fixed soon so you don't end up with a flat battery.

Ya I was thinking of doing this first, even though the thought of lying on my back in the snow is not appealing. I'd rather have a flat battery than a bonfire though.

#3 can be fixed later on - whilst you are figuring out what's gone wrong be sure to replace the valve cover gasket as well - these often leak as well.

That could roll into adjusting the valves. Adjusting the valves myself is something I'm not sure I should do myself, it seems like it would be easy to screw up.
