From: jim Well Since the engines are run in for an hour and then treated with storage oil, you will see a =B3dirty=B2 spark plug when you remove them before you star t the engine for the first time. So if the engine wasn't run at the factory your plugs would look brand new.

Re: JabiruEngine-List: Factory tested ??Jim, I got a question about setting up a prop for the 3300A engine with the economy tuning kit installed. As I see it all one has to do is assure that the ground run RPM at full throttle is over 2800 RPM and that the inflight RPM full throttle straight and level doesnt go above 3150-3300. If these specs are followed we can be assured that we are running full rich/full power upon takeoff and lean in cruise. Does this sound right to you?

Well Since the engines are run in for an hour and then treated with storage oil, you will see a "dirty" spark plug when you remove them before you start the engine for the first time.
