Hi guys,
For you who fly behind the Stratus Subaru or just do dual ignition on
one of the varieties,
Ive been revisiting my engine wiring and found my ignition coil plates
are rusty from the moist air coming thru the cowl. Having spares has
real merit because spare parts are often discontinued after 10 years or
so. Ignition coils purchased nearly 8years ago for $35.00 each are now
$93.00. Useful alternatives to the pricey Echlin IC107 coils can be
found by searching for coils used on a 1987-1990 Mitsubishi wagon or
van. The equivalent parts are easier to find at $30.00 and up. I chose
ORiellys Auto Parts on line and they have 4 sources for this coil.
Ive maintained a spares box for all things consumable, brake pads,
bungees, fuel lines, scat tube etc, and after only 157 hours of flight,
I guess coils are next.
Fly safe guys,

Mine have been rusty forever...here in the humid country of East Texas. I h
eard that the rust on the coils is not a big deal. Maybe you can educate me
on this a little more.=C2- don=0A=0AThanks for the info on the spares.

Hi Don,
I don't think at this stage, the rust on the coils is any issue of
concern. I do think because ignition coils are one of the few items that
fail and are cause for having two,
it is probably prudent to have an extra one or two in the box as
available spares. Just for price and availability.
