I hate when people use the term "tune-up." It's a VERY generalized statement. What exactly was replaced?

At my old work, I tune-up started with just a spark plug replacement.

try some kind of gas-line antifreeze, such as isoheet......it works great to absorb water in your fuel tank and lines causing prolonged start ups
