Robert,
For my files and just in case, would you send me the email addr of Petr
Prokop please.
The LOM in the Spitfire is running well but for ocassionally dropping a
plug in start-up/run-up. Fortunately I put a cylinder temp probe on all
six so can pin it down quickly.
I wonder, to all on this chat, with the "shower of sparks" device, is it
necessary to have the plug gaps so small? Could I help the above
problem with wider plug gaps, say 22 thou? Any other sugestions?

You'd have to ask the factory, but 0.017 is what they call for. I had
thought about maybe converting to autoplugs, but wanted to use Bosch
iridiums and you can't adjust those plugs like a regular boot type. I
didn't. Just put new plugs in and it runs great. I am showing the
LOM/Glastar to a friend who may buy it from me. It is not IFR and I really
wanted that in an airplane - and dodn't wnat to spend the money to build it
to IFR myself although I could. Flew a Cherokee 235 today. Samy airspeed as
the Lom, but twice the fuel burn! 14 gals per hr vs 7 gals per hour. You are
smart to have the four cylinder probe system!
Petr.Prokop@lompraha.cz --A nice guy! Joe Krybus doesn't have an email. He
is somewhat curt on the fone, but every word is like gold.He sent us
detailed engineering drawings on the engine -
a great guy too!
