Mintor plugs

[Alan Simmonds]

Wayne,
 
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.  
 
I don't have a problem with cold or hot starts as long as it's wet.
Never had to resort to my starter yet, just a couple of back flips and
away it goes.
 
Alan

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.  
Will keep you all posted.
