<DIV>Ran into this with a Mintor head on an OS 140RX. I found removing the
anodizing from the seat of the plug hole, where the plug washer sits was also
necessary. Check for a good ground from your engine lug through the ground
wire to your jack in the plane. I was using a Hangar 9 set up and found
the ground wire had a great deal of resistance so I replaced it. </DIV>
