anyone used this on spark plug leads to clean and improve contact between spark plug and the lead?

The answer to your question is no. However, I use this product on electrical connections on my amateur radio equipment, and that is microvolts that pass through the screw on terminals. It will improve contact because oxidation alone is counter-acted at a molecular level. My point is that if I can use it for better electrical connections for microvolts / micro-amps you can use it for 40 kilo-volts easily. My recommendation is to put the DeOxit on the part of the spark plug under the rubber boot; not on the ignition end, as that would be a waste of the product. I hope this helps.

I have not used it for that application, buy I would think that it would work well at removing any corrosion if it exists. It can't hurt in any case. I've been using DeOxit for many tears and have found that it works wonders on any and all electrical contacts. One area that people forget are the various ground straps or cables they have in the engine compartment. Disconnect them and clean well with De-Oxit and replace tightly. I've seen cleaning the grounds fix some strange electrical problems.

I haven't but it should work, it is listed as nonflammable and its primary function is to ensure proper contact and keep corrosion down so it should do the job.

check the gap between the electrode and ground surface. should be 1/8 inch. make sure spark is bright blue. can be lit with lighter stick. push handle infirmly and hold it. takes a bit to get gas to the element

I am not familiar with that engine, i don't know if it uses the same type of spark plug. Technically if your plug uses a 9/16 socket wrench then this tool will work, but it might not be necessary. If your plugs look like mine in the pics that i posted, with the long electrode shield below the threads, then this tool will help.

I had the same problem. What I did was unscrew the motor from the base and and use compressed air to clean the motor. Sometimes a piece of lead would get stuck inside the motor mechanism.

Depending on vehicle installing in. The NGK web sight and other info web sights do not recommend using anti-seize with this type of spark plug. My application was on a Honda and I did not use any anti-seize.

Pulstar says it fits, there is only one thing that I have found out with this plug,it runs really hot. When I pull the plugs out after about 500miles that plug was so clean that nothing stuck to it, usually plugs have alittle carbon or brown, but not these,just burnt so clean almost blue. I pulled mine out for fear of burning a hole on the top of the piston. But while using them they really made a difference I could feel, like more torque.

Yes it will do the absolute best job. I have a 1989 Chevy Caprice Brougham oh my gosh a nightmare to take off the spark plugs. But I decided to buy this swivel socket it has a magnet inside of it which will hold your spark plugs in place also it doesn't swivel loosely so your not arm exhausted. I personally recommend this purchase it's a investment in time and mental stability. I digress but your going to love this tool.

Yes, a single wire wraps around the spark plug wire to pick up the RPM's . I use one one my single cylinder four stroke motorcyle.

Yes but you should make sure you maintain the fuel system, clean injectors, air filter, etc. I recommend using sea foam fuel additive to clean out the carbon from the spark plugs. The tuner works best if everything is working properly.

I use this on my ellipitical and my stationary bike. it would be worth a try. I don't ever start my day without my spark on my sock Hope this helps. It is a great little motivator.

The RPM leads connect to ground and one of the two inputs in the ignition coil (the instructions tell you how to decide which one). Unfortunately my car has a distributor-coil assembly that is encased and there is no easy access to the coil input contacts. I tried buying a magnetic pick up and using that around the spark plug cable (the old fashion way!), but its too noisy and you can't get an accurate reading. So I have not been able to use it for RPM readings, which is the main reason I bought it.

I've seen it work on worse (much worse!!) Before you try it, drain the tank and rinse it with clean gas, then put it back on and you should be ready. You probably ought to take out the spark plug and clean it, too, then while it's out, crank the engine enough to get the smell of fuel coming out the spark plug hole. If it still won't fire, it's not the fuel's fault.

I have used it for years on intake manifold gaskets. Seems to hold up well to fuel flowing through the intake ports.

Spark plugs are appproximately gapped from the plug manufacturer. You should consult the user manual from the ENGINE MANUFACTURER for the correct gap.

Remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug so the engine doesn't accidently start. Make sur the coil is not upside down when installing. Loose the bolts holding the coil in place. Put a matchbook, or a feeler guage ten thousanths inch, between the flywheel and the coil. Turn the flywheel so the magnet and the coil meet. The coil will attract to the magnet. Tighten the coil down. Remove the matchbook or feeler guage and turn the flywheel to make sure they do not touch. If they touch it will not run, redo former steps if necessary. Finish installing the cover and other parts to complete assembly. The engine should start and run now. Remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug so the engine doesn't accidently start.

Thank you for inquiry. According to manufacturer, unfortunately,there is no single answer to this question. As spark plugs grow older, they lose their sharp edges as material from the center and ground electrodes is slowly eroded away. As the gap between these two points grows, the voltage required to bridge the gap increases proportionately. Even the best ignition systems will be strained to supply enough voltage to completely burn the fuel. It is at this point, when fuel is being left unburned, that the time has come to change spark plugs. Replacing worn out spark plugs with new ones (with sharp new edges) effectively restores the ignition system's efficiency. Misfires are reduced, power is restored, economy of operation is enhanced and emissions are reduced. The best guide is the manufacturer's recommendation for your vehicle, as this particular service varies from brand to brand and model to model. In the absence of this information or in conjunction with it, you can rely on the advice of a mechanic who is familiar with your type of vehicle. In the best of all worlds, this would be a mechanic who is also familiar with the vehicle you own. If you find a good mechanic, whether dealer or independent, stick with him. The better he knows your personal vehicle, the better he will be able to diagnose and service it. The end result is very much like a doctor-patient relationship and, in the long run, you will have a healthier vehicle. Don't hesitate to contact us if we may further assist you.

I tried to use this on carburetor from 1949 and a door handle from the same truck. I have done a lot of soldering before and frankly this stuff doesn't work. No matter how clean I got the surfaces I could not get it to wick out into cracks or pits or even a flat surface. I really want to tell you "yes" buy it and give it a shot But I have had trouble with it. However it is cheap and wont hurt to try out since there isn't much else out there for repairing pot metal.
