You have to ask Mark? Of course I use el-cheapo plugs. I get up
to 280 hours from a set (all mogas use) or as little as 80 hrs. when I
occasionally use 100LL on a long cross country.
I have a few new Renesis engines (with all car accessories) in-house for
the purpose of developing conversion products and strategies. They came
equipped with fine wire electrode plugs that are either platinum or iridium so
next time I wear out my cheapos I'll give them a try.
Tracy ( only spend money when it really matters)
Ed,
Do
you know what type of plugs Tracy uses, el-cheapo or platinum?
You
said that he runs mo-gas so I assume he doesn't have the
lead-fouling
problem you and others have. So, I assume Tracy's plugs
are actually
worn out after 100 hours? If that's the case, it seems
that the
platinum, or iridium plugs might give longer life.

Not certain that reciprocating engines have the same
problems as their
plugs
are not as shrouded as ours so combustion
process probably help keeps
blowing off deposits on the ceramic center
cone.
