| Subject: | spark plug adhesive |
I remember reading somewhere that a spark plug adhesive should be used on two stroke
engines like my Rotax 503 to prevent the spark plugs from vibrating out
of the cyl heads.
If this is correct what is the best adhesive to use ?

There are NO ADHESIVES made or used to hold a spark plug in an engine. <--
PERIOD
What is put on the threads of a spark plug is ANTI-SEZIE. Just
the opposite of an adhesive Something to assist in the removal of a spark
plug. Something to prevent fretting.
Want to prevent spark plugs from loosening?
1 - Use clean flat washers under the plug. Yes, many of the plugs used by
Rotax owners do not have replaceable/removable washers. Sorry about that.
2 - Use the proper torque on the plugs.
3 - Balance the engine and prop for minimal vibration.
I have NEVER heard of a plug vibrating out. Not unless the person who
installed the plug screwed up!
I have seen the tower of the spark plug get blown off though.

Your two stroke plugs should be torqued cold and nothing on the threads.
