Just replaced my 380 hour Iridium plugs with a new set. My old set looked like would go of another 100 hour easy. For me personally 380 - 400 hours enough from one set. Cheers

350+ hours with my Iridiums and still Ok

Hi Nev I haven't seen any significant lead build up to date or any significant wear on the electrode area. Probably right size jets or better burn with iridium or just good luck. I keep a good ear on any misfiring and a good look at the electrode end as well. My aim to change at 400 hour or sooner to a new set of iridium. I have heard of one auto engine on avgas with auto ignition wearing the electrode super fast around 100 hours. I understand that not the case with Jab low voltage Honda mags. Cheers

Iridium 4 me 320 hour now and I am aiming for 400 hour before changing them. I have a second set ready to go in when i notice any problems. For me running Iridium, to some degree was not the hours of use. My understanding with jabiru's low ignition voltage, the fine point Iridium gives a better spark, in turn better fuel burning, less carbon and small increase in power. < hope I wounder if a strong spark would help cold engine starts?

320 hours now and still look good .

below info not directly related to fouled s/p but it could be of some use. I have being using NGK Iridium spark plugs now for 300+ hours on avgas. I was told they give a better spark on a Jabiru J160 2.2L weak ignition system. I will try the 400 hour mark before changing or if i get cold feet sooner. I had to re adjust them back to .025. at 200 hours and again at 300 hours. The s/p were used during a short 100 hour period when the carby was set factory rich and glazed bores, using excessive oil piston ring bypass. Last 200 hours carby set on about 16L burn at about 3000 RPM below 5000 feet, 60X44 prop. Ring Wayne Johns to fix your problem. I have his mob. Cheers

where's the info on hard starting Mr bushman? gone walk about? LOL

Technical - Jabiru Light Sport & Experimental Aircraft are we getting warm?http://www.jabirupacific.com/tech.htm#ColdWeatherStarting

Bushman has it any thing to do with an extra ignition ? below one of your posting from April 09 Cheers Theo Phil thanks for the carton LOL "Cold Start Jabby " " Hi Why not fit Auto ignition from four cylinder car Electronic have been using one for years three switches on full choke one or two turns and away, and if the battery is Flat hand cranking can be done so beware my Jabby Bites ?? once started turn off Third Ignition,:Flush::Flush: last Battery I replaces was stuffed could just start engine but still did The other morning at Bourke there was 1/2 inch of ice on the wings after overnight outside 3 clicks two turns and away she goes best system I have every used The Bushman "

Hi have a look at this web site http://www.trioavionics.com/ez_pilot.htm We have it on the ailerons only and works very well. Very easy to hard wire to Garmin 296 and Pilot 3. cheers Theo

I use 15w50 winter and w100+ for summer, last time i spoke with Don from Jabiru he said 15w50 would be a good all year round oil for Jab engines with hydraulic lifters. Next summer i will properly will continue with 15w50.

Lead for stems 3 months ago i spoke with Don in Jabiru Engines about mogas and Jab engines. Mogas will shorten engine life, i think its to do with lead for valve stem lubrication. Best to ring Don. He also told me in Italy Avgas is $5/ L, I guess prices are on the move up . Cheers Theo
