Default Savage SS Back wheels and a few questions

I bought a savage ss with the 4.6 from ebay and the back wheels look the they are facing inwards, are the supposed to be like that? Also it keeps burning up glow plugs a few look perfectly normal and others look like the coils are a little out of place, i also have a hot shot 2 glow plug igniter if that helps any. i really kind of need a lot of help! Thanks!

How many gallons has been through the engine? If it's distorting the GP it could be very well be lean. Try to richen it up 1/4 turn see if it helps. How is it running overall? What are your temps? As faar as the wheels your tow/camber is off. You can adjust it from the hubs there are screws you will see pulls it in and out.

The engine runs pretty good when it is running. And i don't have a temp gun so i am not sure how hot it is running is there any way to make a home made one?

I live off Cross Keys Rd. Yes you need that gasket. A 2 stroke motor needs backpressure, if not you will sieze it from running lean.
Sweet truck !!
