Posted: Thu Jan 12, 2006 11:30 am Post subject: Auto ignition harness and plugs

I know others have posted on this subject before, but I couldn't  

resist singing the praises of this conversion! I just completed  

putting Dennis's auto ignition harness and auto spark plugs in my 52  

and granted this is first blush, but what a difference! The first  

time we started her up she fired up faster than it ever has, After  

warm- up, which I let go a bit longer than usual just see if any of  

the plugs would foul, this was the norm on my 52 thus giving me a mag  

drop on either 1 or 2 never the same mag twice in a row, nada, barely  

a burble on the needle. Flying home today I almost forgot I was in a  

YAK, smooth running would be an understatement.



I also want to thank Jim, Phil, Mike and the rest of the crew at  

A.E.R.O. Aircraft Services in Laconia, NH for their assistance,  

expertise etc in helping me or rather me helping them do this  

conversion and making sure it was done right the first time. (http://

 Has someone (Bill Blackball or somebody else?) developed a similar conversion for the CJ's House 285?   I'm jealous of Steve's effervescing. Thanks, Blitz

I can confirm that this mod is awesome. I had mine done for me by Kirby

Chambliss no less at the nationals in September and am VERY happy with my

smooth running engine. Before fitting we asked Sergey Boriak and he said

that he had it in his SU-31 and had done for years and loved it, and if you

have flown with him you will know how hard he treats anything mechanical )

Just ask the Velox owner that he test flew for )

 Indeed! While I have finally got all the oil off my CJ following my 1+20 acro lesson with Sergey a few years ago, my body has yet to recover. He and Gennady have the same knee-bruising, highly effective Russian technique.   ..Blitz

I hope some one has, because you need a project. You obviously have to much time on your hands if you are dreaming of becoming some aging Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean. Frankly the whole visual scares the be jeezus out of me  However, now that I think about it the wardrobe would fit right in out there in Marin County

 Guilt by association is patently illogical. Consider the plight of Sam Alito at the hands of Teddy this week with the knowledge that Sam once belonged to Concerned Alumni of Princeton. Very McCarthyesque.   So, while I live in Marin, Dave "the Hun" King is my sort of friend.   ...B

Conversion works fine for Huosai engines too. Same plug wire lengths, interchangeable distributor cap and rotor, etc on the Rusky and Chinese engines. Dennis ships the Champion plugs but Delco R44F and NGK BR5H work just as well. These are motorcyle racing plugs intended for air cooled engines operating at higher temps and many more RPM. 

  

 You can roll your own by ordering either the 8mm Taylor wire or the 8mm Magnecor wire in bulk. Assemble with 90 degree elbows and trim the distributor end of wire insulation to fit into the dist. cap. It ain't science, but a good workmanship installation is still required.

Bill Blackwell is doing the same or similar conversion.  Pilots who have had it done are very happy with it.  Main value is that plugs are $20 cheaper.
