Folks,
If you run fine wire plugs, how do you clean them?

You're both getting ripped. $6.67Your getting ripped, I pay a little over $9 a piece.
are these the same as 38s? in length and reach and heat?
G3 ignition, the guys name is Thomas. He'll give you instructions on how to convert the cap, or he'll do it. If he does it he'll send you cap and wires to what ever lenght you tell himAs stated above the plugs are available considerable less than that. Ebay, Rock auto, I think it was https://www.sparkplugs.com where I have bought many sets long ago. Not sure where their prices are at this time.
The most recent set of 18MM adapters I bought in England from https://www.gsparkplug.com/ and were right about $32 USD including shipping for all 8 of them. In country they seem to be gold to the retailers.
I have seen modified mag plates available, check on SDS injection site. Must be other places as well as reworking the originals. I have not done so but I expect it is straight forward.
No, these are a very good quality automotive plug. They essentially will last forever. They do not wear out, if they foul they burn clean very quickly, Might be possible bottom plugs could lead foul in low compression engines.
First change I make to any airplane - put in fine wires.

I am surprised to hear you say that. I got a lot of guff for running fine wires and stopped telling people. In full disclosure, I was having some trouble with my o-320 making a weird noise. My A&P could hear the noise too but didn't know what it was either. He tested my massives, and said they checked out. Because it seemed like a cheaper place to start, I swapped them out with tempest fine wires and the problem seemed to go away. Coincidence or not, who knows, but the problem seems to be gone and I am happy with fixed.
Everyone I talked to said there is no sense running fine wire in small engines and I just wasted a bucket of money for nothing. The argument goes that their only purpose is in turbocharged engines at altitude. On the other hand, I hear folks say even though they don't provide much benefit in small bores, but they last to TBO so over the long haul aren't that much different price wise.
Why are you running fine wires in a super cub? Are there some other benefits I can point to? I hear some folks say they result in "better" combustion or less likely to foul. What tangible differences have you noticed with fine wires? It would be nice to have some talking points to defend the decision.

ive noticed on some of these 18-14mm adapters, some have a flat shoulder and some have a tapered shoulder, are you guys addressing the tapered shoulder for the washer and just torquing it down? or maybe it dosent matter?
its the slight taper like you say charlie, and the spark plug gaskets or washers whatever you want to call them, are soft enough where i put there flat side to the cylinder and the not as flat side up to the adapter i think they will be just fine.thanks.
