<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=002115821-17062003>Try
and get some OS A5 plugs. I tried a hole bunch of different plugs until I
found somewhere selling A5's in the UK. When I fitted them I had to turn
the main needle a full ¼ turn weaker so they must be doing something
different. A5's are made specifically for the bigger 2 stroke motors
and have a thicker element. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

don't have a problem with cold or hot starts as long as it's wet. Never

<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I had the chance to get my Mintor 1.70 on
the test stand this weekend. I ran three tanks of fuel through it. I
didnt have any A5's so I used FOX long reach w/idler bars. Any thoughts
on the use of these plugs or would they not hold up in the long run?
What is the difference between an A5 and a Fox plug? Seemed to work ok for
what I ran of it. It started on the first flip after priming. By
the third tank I could get to idle at about 1800. Still loaded up some
after extended idle but that was because of the rich needle setting and the
pipe may be a little long. I wont be able to check pipe setting till the
ring is seated better or I can get a steady needle setting. I am breaking this
in just like I did my OS. Run rich and lean engine till it almost
peaks and then ritchen it back up again through the whole tank. It would
hand start when cold but had to use starter when it was warm or hot so I
assume it will take a little more time to get the ring to seat
good. </FONT></DIV>
