    If they've drifted out of spec over time, the engine will be more prone to having misfires induced. When was the last time they were done?

    There are numerous places online that do it for ~$20 usd each. They will sonic clean, flow test and replace the filter and o-rings. If they test fine, once clean are good as new.
