I was running automotive spark plugs and wires on my VW engine with an aviation magneto. ?The engine ran great for the first 40 hours but started to miss. I tried all the new fancy spark plugs and wires, and the very basic simple plugs with no real inprivement. I pulled the magneto apart to check and found no fault. My solution was to replace the automotive ?spark plugs and wires with aviation ?plugs and wires that I found on eBay. ?With the aviation ?plugs and wires there is a significant ?visible increase in spark at the gap. 40 plus ours of flight time later I have had no problems.?

I haven't been too concerned about tracking it down since normally both the mag and the electronic ignition systems are on and the engine runs smooth as silk.? I finally decided to address this mystery today...
