Aircraft Pilot is a directory of aircraft that generally fit
into what are described as ultralight aircraft, advanced ultralight
aircraft,
light sport aircraft, experimental light sport aircraft, experimental
aircraft, amateur built aircraft, ELSA or homebuilt
aircraft in the United States and Canada. These include
weight shift aircraft, more commonly known as trikes,
powered parachutes, and powered para-gliders.

Rotax spark plug

Rotax 2 stroke aircraft
engine spark plugs
The recommended spark plugs for
the Rotax 277, Rotax 377, Rotax 447, Rotax 503, Rotax 532,
Rotax 582 are the NGK B8ES series or the NGK BR8ES ( the R in
the spark plug denotes it is a resistor plug and should be
used in all of the CDI ignition engines.
BUT the Bosch points ignition engines should NOT use both a
resistor plug and a resistor spark plug cap - use one or the
other. The least expensive option
in the long run is the cap as you
purchase it once while the resistor plugs cost more than the
standard plug each time you buy them. |

Use
spark plugs that have a SOLID TIP - DO NOT USE spark plugs
that have an aluminum screw on tip. They vibrate loose, the
tip wears making a loose cap to plug fit, and can lead to
the spark plug arcking across from the cap to the plug. Also
the screw on style spark plugs are NOT designed for our
applications, the gap is generally set up for .030 to .035
thou. The solid tip spark plugs are set up for a gap of .015
to .020 thou.
Spark plug gap
- Allowable range: 0.4-0.5mm / .015
-.020"
- Optimal: I usually set them to .015
and let them wear out to .019
- This also helps getting the engine
started in colder conditions
