Yes, Paul "experiments" sometimes leaves me puzzled as
well.
But, no I have not tried iridium plugs. My
analysis indicates that its formation of lead deposit on the ceramic cone
leading to "flash over" as the spark pulse starts to ramp up to discharge
levels. The plugs are not worn. I understand that CD type
ignition systems frequently do well in combating fouling as the pulse rise is so
fast as to reach levels to jump the gap before sufficient potential is leaked
off. But, not inclined to go to that type of system for SAG.
Besides, I have not yet tried the hydrogen peroxide and vinegar yet

Jesse, as best I recall,
Tracy
Crook has
always mixed Mystery Oil with his gasoline. Perhaps that is why he gets
such a long run on plugs rather than just his use of auto gas.
Interesting indeed, would sure beat trying to replace/clean plugs every 20
hours using AvGAs.
Ran into SAG on way home from
Texas, so going to replace the plugs this week. I
think I'll get some MMO and mix it in the gasoline and see if it makes any
different in the TBR I get on plugs.
PL’s opinion –
FWIW. If Tracy has been adding it
he would know. I don’t see that baking it at 500F in a cat food can
translates to running it through a rotary mixed with the gas.
Have you tried
iridium plugs? Al
If you use it in the fuel it
breaks down and leaves a lot of crud on the rotor.
Put a tea spoon worth in a small
cat food can and bake it in the oven for one half hour at 500F. Do the same
with 2 cycle oil and see the difference.
For sag try the iridium plugs
used in the RX8 engine.
