Subject: Re: Suitable Spark Plugs for 16/80?
Not necessarily, from that comparison, other manufacturers make hotter plugs than the AB2, and there is only one gap between the AB6 and AB2...and the only plug in that heat range is the Champion one mentioned.
Difficult, but you really need to establish if it's rings or valve guides. New rings and a light hone certainly worked for my 205CTi, but metallurgy is better today, and our old engines wear more quickly than their modern counterparts.
Whatever it doesn't sound like this is an everyday problem, so I think you can kick the ball down the line a bit. Incidentally, I was reading up on Scintilla magnetos today, and oiling up of plugs can result if you have fitted suppressors (resistors) or modern resistance core leads...all a big no-no with magnetos.
