i have had three plugs die on me, it is only on start up eg choke on, now is this usual for the turbo engine(i dont think so) as my other mini has never done this. doesnt kill them one after the other but has been over the last couple of months. they are bpe6 the ones recomended for the metro turbo, is this usual i mean to ask "Can I legally marry people now that I am ordained in the Church of the SubGenius?" aka i know jack sh"t

Soaking them in petrol does usually kill them and the NGK's seem particually bad for this. Maybe it is just too rich at idle and the choke just makes this worse? Try the champion plugs, much better. There is a long sparkplug thread somewhere, search NGK and Champion. I would dig is out but I'm supposed to be working :) I now only use the champion (cossie?) plugs. Despite what I read on the highpower N20 board, they seem better on nitrous as well. pete , have you got a code for these plugs you use,i'm getting pissed off with wetting NGK plugs all day long, and are they expensive, tell me more!. carl |

Champion C57's are the ones to use for majority of our engines - everythign from mild to wild. I'd only switch to C59's if running an extreme engine.

I've also seen problems with NGK's failing. Champion ones every time for the last 4 years and no problems.
