| Subject: | Russian plug life and thread size |
What is the rough life of the Russian plugs? Or is it just a perpetual IRAN? How
do you determine they need to be replaced?
Also the manual says the thread size is M14x1.25 but none of the thread chasers
in that size I tried seem to work.

Thank you for the confirmation.
It was my plan to remove the carb to make sure everything was done as
easily as possible.
I didn=99t want to damage the membranes.
I plan to take many photos of the process.
Thank you again.

Look for a very worn ground element.
This thread chaser works just fine.

The reason you=99re having difficulty cleaning the threads is because t
he Russian plugs do not fit flush with the combustion chamber. Thus the las
t hole threads tend to build up carbon which makes it difficult to clean the
threads with the thread chaser. Plus the Russian plugs are a =9Ccold
=9D plug which you can clearly see when you pull the spark plugs and s
ee the black soot around the insulator and firing element.
This may help you understand how to read your spark plugs.

I had a similar issue with thread chasing on my plane. Once I ran the
thread chaser through the hole all was well.. The thread chaser that
Dennis referenced is the exact one I purchased on his recommendation.
Also, before you purchase a full set of russian plugs you may want to
consider swapping over to the auto plug conversion. Worth every penny.
If you want all of the detail you can find a number of owners here that
have the auto plugs and wires and love them.
Just a thought if you are about to purchase a bunch of new russian plugs,
you may want to consider getting rid of the weak link in the ignition
system and making your starts etc more reliable.
Now for the fish story. Since I put the auto plugs in I am flying 10 knots
faster and cut my fuel burn by 30%....... none of which is true. It is
just a more reliable system.
