Wouldn't using hotter plugs help? Wouldn't that "burn" the

deposits off? How about CD ignition? doesn't that have a
really short
rise time?
There's gotta' be a better way than changing
plugs more often than oil

Jim, There are many different typs of CD ignition, but the prevailing
problem for many is the opposite of standard style systems. Super-fast rise
time; but super-short duration! Many CD systems require a LARGE gap simply to be
sure the spark might hit something and get the fire started. Multi-spark
discharge systems are usually CD of some sort. If not the coil current required
is super high OR a dc to dc voltage stepup system is required to allow the coil
to fire multiple times per ignition event. I am supprised Lynn could run such a
small gap with success. Lynn was that small gap WITH a MSD system?
