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.
