How do you clean a tempest spark plug?
A: First, the firing end of the plug must be cleaned of lead, carbon and oil. Once cleaned you can use the Tempest AT5K® or a multi-meter. If using an AT5K please see the tool section of our website. If using a multi-meter place one lead on the center electrode and the second lead on the contact point inside the spark plug terminal well.
Which is the best spark plug for aviation?
World’s Best Aviation Spark Plugs! The most automated manufacturing processes and the most innovative spark plug in the aviation industry. Copper, co-extruded inside a nickel alloy sleeve ensures outstanding heat and electrical conductivity while the nickel sleeve offers high resistance to corrosive combustion gases.
How is the heat rating of a spark plug determined?
Long reach v. short reach will be determined by the specific engine. Heat rating is indicated by the numeric value of the spark plug part number. The lower the numeric value the colder the heat rating. Best practice is to use the same heat rated plug you have removed. Massive electrode or fine wire is a personal choice.
What should my Tempest spark plug resistor be?
A: Typically Tempest spark plug resistors will stay between 1000 and 1500 Ohms throughout their life. Tempest specifies that the plug resistor should never be below 500 Ohms or above 5000 Ohms. We offer a lifetime guarantee on our fired-in resistor. Q: How can I check my spark plug resistor?
Long reach v. short reach will be determined by the specific engine. Heat rating is indicated by the numeric value of the spark plug part number. The lower the numeric value the colder the heat rating. Best practice is to use the same heat rated plug you have removed. Massive electrode or fine wire is a personal choice.
What causes a spark plug to stop working?
This may be fuel related or ignition related. Fuel related causes include rich fuel mixture, faulty carburetor adjustment, excessive idling or improper idle mixture. Ignition causes could be related to a worn spark plug ignition lead, improper magneto timing or running too cold of a spark plug.
