Iridium's are about $9 each ($72 total). You can afford to have new plugs 3 times for the price of iridium's. Iridium's will still need to be gapped and cleaned. Any leaded fuel will still deposit lead. I know you travel a lot so you may use 100LL more often than some? -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.

I get a 10% military discount, so that brings them down to 6.30 each. I can afford that. Only time I ever fouled a plug was a DCPR7E on the 912 during a flight to Alaska in 1994. Wasn't a problem, just an annoyance until I got on the ground in Sault Saint Marie, Ontario, where I cleaned it with my pin knife. Haven't had a problem with lead fouling on the 912 or the 912ULS's since. Yes, I burn a lot of 100LL. All one can get on cross country flights. On a normal flight out West I will fly about 75 hours and burn 375 gals of 100LL. I fly at 5,000 rpm and higher, always. Don't believe in babying the 912. That and a little Marvel Mystery Oil keeps the 912ULS happy. On one trip to Alaska I used Alcor TCP. Didn't seem to do any better job than the MMO. I believe I will get a little improvement with the iridium plugs. Will only know once I get them installed and when the weather gets a bit better, get some time on them. Thanks for the info from Roger Lee and the welcome from Johann J, an old friend from the Kolb List. -------- John Hauck MKIII/912ULS hauck's holler Titus, Alabama Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=418537#418537 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rotaxengines-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RotaxEngines-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rotaxengines-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rotaxengines-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
