So I sat there and played with the test button testing the surface gap plug. The spark travels around in a circle. I can see how this is a big advantage over the retracted gap. If for some reason part of this plug fouls it will still fire. This is the plug for our final tune.
However, wouldn’t...
“Use it as a pilot” do I need to be wearing Kevlar briefs?
TF guys and BB throw them away after each run. I can’t afford to do that even with one cylinder. Fortunately the BUE is very reasonably priced. What do you think ? It sounded strong and fired quicker than with the BR10ES.

Here is some interesting trivia I have discovered while researching spark plugs used for methanol racing.
John says you can stick the surface gap NGK BUE in a bucket of grease and it will still fire. The Kawasaki 500 triple came with surface gap plugs back in the day. Many outboard two stroke...
John I look at it this way. You have gone faster than anybody on a Bultaco so fast you peeled the paint off your taco. “It was still making power”
I once put a nylock on a brake stay...that was stupid.

“I guess you meant .0035” yes and edit
Is complete.
They say a wise man learns from others and this is why we are going to the NGK BUE surface gap plug in the BULTACO. Our piston to wall in the Taco is .0075” so we are good for Methanol.

What do you think of this picture (the same piston that had the pre detonation). It melted at the edge. So we have pre detonation on the top center and we melt at the edge. 1000 degrees Egt. Chamber Head was cool. Reluctor was somehow magnetized. Data recorder said the ignition was hiccuping. We...
Sorry I wasn’t clear. This NGK BUE spark plug is a non resistor plug and has a solid terminal on top and caught me of guard when I tried to unscrew it. All of my resistor caps are the screw type for the screw terminal stud. Our Zeeltronic electronic ignition says to run a resistor plug. So do my...
“Did you melt a piston recently?”
A close friend did but only one of the three pistons but many spark plug electrodes.
I have been watching the methanol whoosh bottles on YouTube and feel like I have missed out on something in my childhood. I can picture how unspent methane could ignite in...
