I'm not sure that's what he meant!

Here's his quote:

"With just a
little cranking the engine started on 3 cylinders. Ran fairly well
for several minutes. The spark was absolutely visible. Yellow rather
than blue. As the engine heated it began to falter. Quit after about
10 minutes. Behavour entirely similar to what I reported originally. "


"As the engine heated *it* began to falter." That "it" could mean either the spark began to falter or the engine did...
